The whitewalls look great!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
zstripeSylvan scale models of auto's and pick-up's come with stick-on scale whitewalls. They are pre-cut, just peel and stick.
andrechapelon JoeinPA Does anybody remember "whitewall paint" that young, on a tight budget guys could use to convert your blackwalls to the more impressive to the girls whitewalls? Joe Remember it? You can still get it. http://www.rangerpaint.com Andre

Fascinating. The price hasn't changed all that much.
Didn't care for the paint......but I used the ones that You put around the tire after You broke the bead on the wheel and reinflated the tire. I didn't want to impress the girls....just Me!
Take Care!

Now these are real one's....not pretend.
Santa Fe all the way! Thought I'd dress up a few vehicles with whitewall ties. I think, IMHO, it's a definite improvement. https://flic.kr/p/teXoqh

Ah, yes. Cars of the good old days, back when a car was considered well-equipped if it was equipped with radio, heater, and WSW tires. Cal Worthington and his "dog" Spot. Good times.
Sylvan scale models of auto's and pick-up's come with stick-on scale whitewalls. They are pre-cut, just peel and stick. They are all kits though (polyurethane resin) and not for the light hearted builder, but can be made into very fine Models. Have built about 40 of their truck/tractor/trailer kits that came out extremely well....but I modify all of them to roll with different add-on wheels/tires and axle's, just started putting together some autos that will be going on a 50's era car carrier:
Nice looking Models. Were they kits or RTR?

What are those, stickers? Upon seeing the thread title, I was wondering if you had used white Gel Pens with some sort of rudimentary lathe.There is something to be said about modeling the modern era (well, two things - in general no whitewalls, nor big telescoping metal antennae on the fenders)
