To paint rubber tires, use Krylon Fusion spray paint. It has a special formulation for rubber, ensuring good surface adhesion and durability. Rust-Oleum is an alternative, but results may differ. Clean the tires before applying paint for better adhesion. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best finish.
Another effective option is spray paint, especially those formulated for outdoor use. These sprays can create even coatings and intricate designs. When selecting spray paint, ensure it is marked as suitable for rubber.
Before painting, prepare the tire surface by cleaning it thoroughly. Remove dirt, grease, and any old paint. Light sanding can enhance adhesion. After your design is complete, consider a clear sealant that protects against wear and environmental factors.
