No to any silica tyres.

Also any tyres that have had silicon of any nature need to be well and truely cleaned i can provide a process for this if needed, I will also do some final preparation prior to preparing the tyres for painting.

Re tyre shine, I have my own product that has gone though a lot of testing and should be ready over the next week for use, so far over the the past two weeks the results are fantastic. Its a non silicon based product and will I have it available for sale to my customers.

If you want to discuss more my number is 0438645772 and the name is Paul. Cheers. :

Does the walling go over exisitng printing on the tyre or is it only put on the smooth part of the wheel? Is there much price variation on thickness of the line???

Thank you for your enquiry and I will try and answer your questions:
1. Re existing printing; this depends on your tyre size and wall construction of the tyre. Generally as a rule of thumb 15 - 25 mm from the rim edge is where we start printing. However this is becoming less of a practice now since the larger 20 - 23 inch rims customers are requesting lines almost right on the rim.

If you want the line in a spot where there is tyre lettering I buff the lettering off so that the surface is rough enough for the paint to grip to. Its very neat and most of the time you can not tell that there was writting there to start with. I buff the tyre accoring to the size of the die used for printing.

2. Re variation of thickness of line; these are the thickness's available: 13.5 mm, 10.3 mm, 6.8 mm, 5.5. mm, 2 x 4.3 mm and 2 x 3.5 mm (that's right TWIN lines). In the past I have done larger upto 1" in size however quality is important to me and I dont like fluctuations in paint transparency. There are other companies that do larger, if customers really wanted it I would refine the process further to produce a better product.

Here is a sample of some tyres from 18" to 20". Pretty much any colour is available, if not instock at the time it takes a couple of hours to have made up.

Paul
