Why use Nitrogen?
+ Nitrogen is an inert gas that has a larger molecular structure than Oxygen.
+ Safety
+ Proper tire pressure maximizes a vehicles braking and steering capability
+ Elimination of oxygen results in fewer internal tire failures
+ Reduced chemical aging reduces the risk of tire failure

White Walling Application Procedure
1. Wash and clean the tire using soap and water and the Hand Scrub (AAP-04062) to remove dirt and mud from the tire. Let tire dry.

2. Mark the selected area with a marker pen

3. Spray the area with Pre-Buff Cleaner (AAP-117PB). This will help push out the residue out of the tire.

4. Mount the tire to the White Walling machine and buff the selected area. Make sure you have a good flush buff. A good flush buff is a buff wherein the entire surface of the blade is flush with the entire surface of the tire. The blades and the tire must match each other. The blade is concaved and the tire in convexed. The blade must fit flush with the entire surface it is to buff. Do not chock the blade from side to side to develop a better shoulder. If that is done, a better shoulder will be established, but the surface established will not match the applicator and it needs to match perfect if you want perfect results. A perfect flush buff will establish a perfect flush surface for the Striper (applicator) to apply the white wall base coat.

5. Remove excess residue from buffed area using the “Toothbrush” style cleaning brush (AAP-04042).

6. Soak rag in White Waller Cleaner (AAP-155AC).

7. Clean the selected area with wet rag. Let area dry.

8. Apply the Elastomer Sealant (AAP-171ES) with Elastomer Sealant Applicator Brush to selected area. Wait 30 minutes for this to dry or until it turns glossy clear

9. Pour base coat (AAP161) into Striper Bottle (AASTB). Make sure to fill it only 50% to 75% full. If the base coat is too thick, add a small amount of White Waller Quick Dry Paint Thinner (AAP-177VM).

10. Attach chosen applicator to Striper Bottle.

11. Apply base coat using the Striper Bottle with Applicator. Applying the base Coat - Place the Striper at the place which is parallel to the axle of the tire, mid point of the downward side. With the Striper Bottle at a 90-degree angle to the tire, place the Striper in the buffed grove. At this point, no material should be coming out of the roller head.

12. Slowly, tilt the bottom of the bottle upward to approximately a 30-degree angle or until a steady flow appears on the roller head (a stream approximately 1/16” wide in the center). Shortly, a small puddle will develop. Do not tilt the bottle any further. Keep the bottle at this angle and apply pressure against the tire until the material spreads to the complete width of the roller. Do NOT squeeze the bottle. Let the Striper do the work. If you have applied the proper angle/pitch and pressure, the material will build. Let dry for 30 minutes.

13. Apply another coat of base coat and let sit for 30 minutes or until dry.

14. Pour top coat (AAP162) into Striper Bottle (AASTB). Make sure to fill it only 50% to 75% full.

15. Attach chosen applicator to Striper Bottle. Make sure Applicator is the same size as the one used to apply the base coat.

16. Apply top coat using the Striper Bottle and Applicator. Applying the Top Coat - Place the Striper at the place which is parallel to the axle of the tire, mid point of the downward side. With the Striper Bottle at a 90-degree angle to the tire, place the Striper in the buffed grove. At this point, no material should be coming out of the roller head.

If you have applied the proper angle/pitch and pressure, the material will build. Let sit for 30 minutes or until dry.

18. Pour some Tire Paint Thinner Cleaner (AAP-168TC-G) in a cleaner container (AACC1) and clean applicators and striper bottles.
