Abstract:
    A spray-painting machine for a pneumatic tire comprises: a tire holder comprising a pair of bead support disks between which the tire is held; at least one spray gun; a spray gun shifter to move the spray gun to a position near the tread face of the tire held by the tire holder; a rotator for the bead support disks to rotate the tire around the rotational axis of the tire; and a controller which controls the spray gun to spray the paint onto the tread face during the tire is rotated. In a method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire, after the raw tire is vulcanized, an identification mark is spray-painted on the tread face of the vulcanized tire.
