Product Information
Full details
The CarPlan Tyre Paint in Black (250ml) is designed for car enthusiasts looking to enhance the appearance of their vehicle's tires, mud flaps, and other rubber components. Its key benefit is providing a durable, decorative black finish that remains soft and flexible, flexing with the tyre wall to prevent cracking. A potential caveat is the need for thorough surface preparation to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity.

FAQs
How long does one 250ml can last?
The coverage depends on the application method and how many coats are applied. A 250ml can is typically sufficient for the tyres of one average-sized car, or for multiple applications on mud flaps and trim.
Can this be used on coloured tyres?
No, this product is specifically formulated to provide a black finish and is intended for use on black rubber components.
How long does the finish typically last?
The longevity varies based on driving conditions, weather exposure, and cleaning frequency. With proper application and care, the finish can last for several months.
Does it leave a shiny or matte finish?
The CarPlan Tyre Paint provides a decorative black finish that is typically matte to satin, enhancing the natural look of the rubber without excessive gloss.
Is it safe for all types of rubber?
It is designed for automotive rubber components like tyre sidewalls and mud flaps. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Can I apply it in cold weather?
It is best to apply in moderate temperatures (typically between 10-25°C) and in dry conditions for optimal adhesion and drying. Avoid application in freezing temperatures or high humidity.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or peeling
Ensure the rubber surface was completely clean, dry, and free from silicone or oil-based dressings before application. Re-clean the surface and reapply.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply thinner coats and allow adequate drying time between applications. Ensure consistent application pressure and direction.
Paint remains tacky after application
This can occur if applied too thickly or in very humid conditions. Allow additional drying time in a warm, dry environment. Ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Cracking of the finish
While designed to be flexible, excessive flexing or application on brittle rubber may still cause issues. Ensure the product is applied to clean, supple rubber and avoid overly thick coats.
