|DIY| cheap coloured wheel nuts

i believe they are anodised, which is much more scratch resistant than paint, they should not get scratches at all.

i guess if you wanna do this you should use some tough paint such as brake caliper paint. there are anodized versions that you can buy.

powdercoating would also be a good option.

how about do you do that yourself?

not to sure actually, all i know is if you take parts to our local bike store, they can get parts powdercoated for you. I believe it involves baking some sort of powder onto the part???

Read above:

"its those "alien nuts" i got u turn it from the inside so outside looks spotless
however i believe the inside where the nut comes in contact with the wheel will scrap. cant help that"
