|DIY| cheap coloured wheel nuts

[Muzz]

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???

thanks for posting twice. sounds like you are a really big fan of my nuts.

i did another set the other day. used metalic blue paint instead. came out much better and shinning like anodized

wats the chances of the paint cracking on the lug nuts wen u tighten the nuts back onto the wheel?
ive always wanted to do this but i felt as tho the paint might peel off while i tightened it onto the wheel..
if so, are there any further tips you could give me??

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"
