has anybody ever painted old car tyres - i think any paint that is suitable for upvc will do as marine paint is quite pricey - im making a wishing well for the home i work in and painting a brick effect onto a stack of probably 3 tyres - just wondered how long it lasts - |

We used shed paint when we painted tyres at school. You could always put a coat of exterior clear varnish over it to prolong the life but the shed paint alone has lasted 3 years so far. |

"Use a good primer, you can get it in grey or yellow(sand colour) so would double as the mortar colour. Agree with second poster great idea."

Its easier that way round too, 3" brush will do it  |

- decided on primer spray and the man at b & q said any paint for upvc should do the trick - maintenance fella at work is going to make the wooden roof bit - going to be a winner is this
