What is best for painting tyres black and not expensive. Would a spray be better than paint on

I don't know the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that it's not advised that you actually paint a tyre, unless you're using a very specific, made-for-tyres/rubber, paint.

I could be just making that up in my head, but Im pretty sure that a tin of homebase's Finest will eat away at the sidewall or can cause it to weaken or something.. i don't know, i just know I heard it was bad.

Generally speaking, a decent tyre shine product is probably the best way forward. Unless your tyres are actually not the colour you want them to be.
