Havn't tried it in recent years. But take a scrap blackwall and cut or grind away the surfacce area where the white wall would ordinarily be. Some of the 50's and 60's tires were made white wall but a thin covering out of the moulld was cut away to reveal the white wall..

There is somekind of whitewall paint that mite still be available however i've never tried it.

As for the porta walls they are ok for strictly show. At speed they will come loose even if cemeented due to centripital force. Probably ok for 25 or 30mph.

I've had a few during the 1970's that were old tires from 40's and 50's with portawalls cemented on to the tire. They were easy to tear off by hand.

Quite frankly, i wouldn't have porta walls on any tire.
