Is tire spray paint durable?

My tires are looking worn out and they’re due for a refresh. If I use tire spray paint, will it restore the look and last?

Refreshing your tires sounds like a fun project! Tire spray paint can be very durable and last up to one year since it’s formulated to stick to rubber. The actual durability will depend on factors like wear and tear, weather elements, and how many layers of paint were applied.
Before you spray paint your tires, check the following list to ensure the tires are still road-safe:
  • Check tire tread depth to ensure it has enough grip
  • Check wear and tear to ensure the treads are even on each tire
  • Check for any damage, including punctures, cracks, bumps, and bulges
  • Check the tires’ age and change them if they’re 10 years old (or older!)
After determining that your tires are still good, you can prep them for spray painting. Make sure to clean the tires so that the paint adheres better. If your tire paint comes with a primer, use it first. Apply several coats of tire spray paint to ensure even coverage and allow it to last longer.
