Bit of an odd request this one but at least I'm in the right forum!

On my TVR I would dream of using black tyre paint, I prefer to use a clear finish like wonder wheels rubber dressing which restores the look of the tyre and gives a semi-matt finish, however...

I also have a 50 year-old classic Aston Martin which has big 16" cross-ply tyres and I want to make them look nice. I spent some time this morning experimenting with my wonder wheels stuff and some bumper black but the tyres just dried back to a rubbery brown! So... has anyone any experience of using tyre paint and if so is there a best brand to go for? I don't want glossy shiny rubber just subtle semi-matt black.

Thoughts/comments? Cheers Rich...

p.s. here's the machine in question...

Yeah, I saw that on the internet, but then Halfords also do a black tyre dressing/paint. Anyone else got any recommendations?
