Car tires can be used not only as flower beds. Other designer items can also be made from them.

What is necessary for painting

To work with tires you will need:

• liquid for degreasing surfaces (acetone, solvent, etc.);
• primer - the paint will be easier to lay down on pre-primed rubber and better fixed on it;
• paintwork (you can choose any option that remains in the house after repair, or purchase a new one);
• brushes of different thicknesses (the choice depends on the pattern and its complexity).

You can simplify the work and use only paint and a brush. However, the manufacture of high-quality flower beds involves the use of all of the listed devices and materials.

What paints to use

To paint the tires, you can use any means:

1. Special formulations for use on rubber surfaces. Such products have a high cost, but are ideal for tinting a future flowerbed due to their ability to hide bumps and cracks, as well as protect painted surfaces from low temperatures.
2. Acrylic paints. Applied to a pre-fat-free tire, they last a very long time and do not crack during operation.
3. Water emulsion formulations. This option is suitable for work on the street, the coating fits perfectly, but there is a significant drawback - over time, it undergoes burnout.

4. Aerosols. Such funds are very convenient to use, the tone can penetrate even the most inaccessible areas. Using aerosol cans, smooth transitions from one shade to another are created.
5. Oil based. They are characterized by good adhesion to rubber products, they can last a long time.
6. Automobile trains. Paints dry quickly, hold for a long time, are an excellent option for use as a base layer.
7. Nitro enamels.Such substances dry out in a short period of time, do not fade in the bright sun, and fit well on rubber.

To draw small details it is better to use special paints that are resistant to environmental factors. Typically, art stores sell ready-made sets with coatings of different colors, packaged in small jars for convenience.

Useful tips before staining

In order for the flowerbed to turn out to be of high quality and beautiful, and the site has acquired a unique cosiness, it is necessary to observe some conditions:

• before painting, wash the tire well with any cleaning agent, then degrease with acetone or another composition with a similar effect;
• primer the surface - this will help to hide irregularities and will reduce the consumption of the coloring matter;
• if you plan to create a bright or bright flowerbed, it is better to first apply a white tone to the tire;
• the tire must be painted on all sides, including from the inside - over time, unpainted parts may protrude along the perimeter of the product.

If you adhere to the advice of specialists, you can pre-calculate the exact number of selected materials. However, it is important to remember that tires undergo deformation at low temperatures and in the sun, so you do not need to save on paint and create too thin a layer - the surface may crack.
