Tire restoration with M E Miller tire paint

Recommended Posts

Haven't painted any for a long while but you can adjust the color by the amount of water added. The more water, the more grayish in tone they come out. I never really liked the gloss black "Armor All" look and preferred them a bit more gray for the older RJs and Suburbans. Cut with less water if you prefer them darker black.

I recently used American automotive tire paint. Cleaned the tires with Blech-white. I read about this restoration process on this forum. Thanks so much to all the wonderfull information you all post here!

 

It sounds like there alot of options for making old tires look new!

 

Here are a few photos of mine before any treatment.

I have been using M E Miller tire paint for years on older tires on my Wheel Horse tires.

 

Looking good, way better than the spray on foam

I remember using Dupont #7 Tire Black way back in the 60s. Unlike today's water based products #7 was petroleum distilllate. More like ink or liquid creosote it was impossible to get off your skin. I believe it is no longer available.

I remember using tire black on my dump truck tires. Just a quart can went a long way.
