If you’re tired of putting tire shine over and over again to maintain that glossy show car look, I have a solution to your problem: Duplicolor Tire Paint! Basically yes, it’s spray paint that gives you tire shine. It’s not a new invention, but a new application method. All you have to do is prep the surface of your tire, mask off the tire/body, then spray away. See below for a link to purchase on Amazon along with the application procedure.


The first thing you want to do, similar to any other painting process, is to clean and prep the surface of the tire. I used rubbing alcohol and some shop towels to clean it. You can probably use window cleaner also, but spray on the towel instead of the wheel. After it’s nice and clean, I masked off my rim with 3M auto tape (green) but I do recommend the blue painter’s tape because it’s not as sticky. Then for the painting process spray one light later all around the tire. Let it dry 5 minutes and then apply 2-3 more coats of medium to heavy layers. It’s that easy!
