I recently modified a power wheels Jeep and it looks amazing EXCEPT FOR THE TIRES. There's a power wheels forum that I may post this on but I expect more responsiveness from BBI.
The wheels are plastic. I know they can be replaced, which I may end up doing, but does anyone have any tips here? If I paint them it'll just come off, right?
You can scuff up the wheels with 220 and prime and paint.
You might even use 320 if the plastic is really soft.
How you'd get a good paint job to stick on the tires is beyond me.
The wheels are plastic. My concern is that as my girl rides this thing, it will just peel off the pain, right? I suppose it would still look okay on the sides and stuff. Hmm, maybe I should go finish painting it now!

I bought it to spray white PVC when making fishing rod holders for my kayak. However, that stuff will also scratch off easily.
I'd probably try that post above me automotive bring black back to life idea first.
You also have plastic dip as an option. Not sure how it would hold up, like paint, but maybe with 20 coats and good prep. Maybe it lasts and provides better grip for awhile and can be reapplied. Just another possibility.
