i'm not sure which section to post it in, but this section seems correct. move this thread or point me in the right direction if i am wrong.

I am looking for paint that I can apply onto tires. WHy?

My girl is small thus she uses 650c wheels thus requiring 650c tires. She looking for lime green.

Can anybody point me to what kind of companies makes lime green 650c tires? or better yet, what kind of paint should I use to paint her tires?

Thanks all.

this is a Royal Vogue the yellow i custom mixed and applied with a special pinstriping tool. the paint was about 15$ you get 2 cans a base and color.
theyre great to deal with. i suggest that if youre going to paint the tire to wipe the everliving hell out of it with acetone to make sure it bonds
