I don't have the 16" portawalls, but remember the old "Jakester" whitewalls....I even used it to keep the Galaxie whites looking nice.

Mask off the edge with the good blue fine line tape.  Clean the area to be painted with lacquer thinner. 2 to 3 coats of SEM white vinyl color spray bomb available at most auto supply stores.  There's so little flex in those space saver spares that I doubt they'd even crack.

I assume you're using them on a trailer?

Nope, going on bias plys. Don't want to paint them, cause when I'm done they will be black walls again. Add least that's the plan. :?

If you use the paint it is:

SEM Color Coat #15603 White

The other whites are a little grey.  15603 is a creamy white that matches most white walls. And just a single coat or so might even give a little "patina" look.
