Discount Auto Parts' flat black worked great for me....  ;)

Didn't say it'd stay *shiny* or anything.

The scout got its current tires (about due for new somewhat soon now) back
when I started working on it.  Back then, I wasn't worried so much about
looks or anything (like I am now? ha!).  Anyway, the white side went out,
but I never got around to washing the blue off for a little bit (after all,
I was still working on it!).  By then, it was firmly backed on, so out came
the flat black paint to make it at look alright.  Worked pretty good
actually.

Ok, by now I think you can tell it's the white side, but still doesn't look
all that bad (it's getting close to 40k miles on them and a lot of years...
before I got on the digest anyway), it's never been touched since that first
time.   Besides which, Allan's tires are already old and are probobly going
to need to be replaced before the paint would!
