Different Billboard Tire paint

[FUNFER2]

I know there has been much talk about what type and brand of paint for the Billboard's. I do have a can of "Ranger" white wall paint. The question I've had for a long time, isn't there some type of adhesion promoter for rubber. After web searching, I found this company.

Ranger is water based.
This company is oil based.

We all know that oil based paint lasts a lot longer, like my garden fence for instance, I painted it almost 15 years ago and although it needs to be freshened up, the paint has held up all these years.

So my question is, would this tire oil based paint be much better and last longer ?
The company said that their paint is flexible, unlike water based products.

This paint is very,......expensive.

Here is what they recommend.

1- adhesion promoter/ sealant.
2- base coat (dull finish)
3- if you want a gloss finish, use their top coat.

Site links-

1-Tire Adhesive Sealant. $45

2- Base Coat. $74
White Polymer Base Coat

3- Top Coat. $79.50

Total- A whopping
$178.50 (I think shipping included)

They also said that many business's around the country use this product, because it lasts longer than other paint products. She said with a lot of driving under harsh conditions, will last a year.

You can not use tire dressing on the paint. So far, most here on CC have not tested paint longevity like Ranger, for a extended period of time to see how well paint works on tires.

For those of us who like the nice white paint over the spray painted original looks, this is a lot of money for making Billboards shine, but is it worth trying ?

If we could get a few guys together and split the cost, it wouldn't be so bad. $60 bucks for 3 of us. The Ranger i bought is 9 bucks ! lol
But, if it works very well and lasts over a year, it may be worth it. I would like to find someone that has used this product. Some here have used the Ranger paint with good and bad results, but not near as expensive.

Most of the time, you get what you pay for.

For those that don't like the pretty white paint versus the old school lightly sprayed paint, I'll ask you to please be kind here and not bash this thread. This is just a friendly discussion.
