Painting Wheels Nuts?

[Admiral_Awesome]

Hey guys...

Is there anyway to paint your wheels nuts without the paint coming off/scratching the second a wheel brace/rattle gun touches it??

Getting a set of 17" ROH Fury's and would much rather sand and paint black my current grimey wheel nuts then go out and buy a $50 set of chrome nuts.

Any ideas? Are there any certain paints that would be suitable for this type of job?

Ive tried painting some before but the rattle gun just destroyed the paint.

have you considered plastic caps

[Jonnii]

My thought would be electro plating but it seems a bit far just for wheel nuts

Yehhh kinda didnt want plastic caps but i spose there isnt much of an alternative

i thought so too... (too far for nuts)

but for some people, maybe it's just the thing

you should be able to buy black wheel nuts... one of my mates from work got em after he got a set of ssv wheels powdercoated... i think he got them from holden so give them a call and see if not ill ask him where he got them from... painting would be pointless as itll get destroyed everytime

Surely there would be cheap anodized nuts? On egay or somewhere.

[Admiral_Awesome]

Yehhh thinking i should just buy some :/

Be easier and cheaper to just buy some.

step 1. get oxy
step 2. get bucket of old oil
step 3. heat wheel nuts till red hot
step 4. drop in oil
step 5. never trust your wheel nuts again.
