Default Anyone ever paint on White Walls?

So, ive done a fair amount of research and just purchased on Ebay a can of Gledi White Wall tire paint.

I plan to paint my white walls this winter to see if they turn out decent and save me from paying $350+ for new tires.

Has anyone worked with this product or others like it? Any advice? Do's / Dont's?

Success or failure stories?

My Road to Rod

Check that out, page 2. There's also another thread on here somewhere about a member who tried a few different products for the white wall effect.

I came across a video where you could take a grinder to black tires with white lettering and grind down the black all the way around to the white rubber. It was just a couple thous of an inch so it wouldn't hurt the tire. But I'm assuming the tire is black through and through?

Don't do the grinder thing IMO. It's kind of ghetto.
