As far as the whitewalls holding up ,I used my best pair of reading glasses and examined them......The paint on the front is great,but on the back tire it is cracked just like the cracks in my tire.So this paint won't hide any tire checking if your tire is checked like my back tire is,but if no cracks on tire it looks great!Using acrylic enamel paint you could paint any color on your ride,maybe a 1/4 " red stripe,remember those on car tires?:thumbsup:
