    Since wide white wall tires cost so much and i'm a typical hot rodder on a budget does white wall paint work? Does it last very long? Does it yellow or do anything crazy? I know this thread has probably been done before. Please dont tell me that. I get enough mouth on here as it is ha ha cause of my handle. Believe me i regret that!

    so, sounds like you are more in need of special attention than doing a long search here on the subject of your "handle", and painted white walls.

    Have no clue about the WW Paint but there used to be a fantastic junk yard on the south side of Pryor just north of the RR underpass on Hwy 69. They had 20's 30's and 40's cars stacked like cordwood for at least 200 yards along the highway. Then, in the middle 1970's it all disappeared....really sad, the place was a gold mine. My idea of a cleanup is to wipe out old houses and install salvage yards.

    The white paint on tires that say "no hunting" seem to last for decades. Dont know if its house paint. Long, sticky burnouts on real whitewall will make them yellow/brown.
