Or Ebay tire paint link Last edited by HealthServices; 10/21/08 12:40 PM. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

It's been on two years, no fade at all. http://www.autobarn.net/duplicolor-hot-tires.html Check my thread below for pics and details. http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/journal....&reverse=1/ 4765910-stripe.JPG (181 downloads)
