How hot do painted wheel lug nuts bake in the oven?
Photo's covering me story: http://picasaweb.google.com/concor32...eat=directlink
So, it was Sinterklaas over here yesterday and I got myself some chrome wheel nut covers. Hoping they would make my ride superdupercool, they actually pimped it too far. It's like a chrome exhaust... just plain wrong.
So I took them off and decided to paint the old nuts in aluminum. I took off half the nuts so tomorrow I can do the second half without removing the wheels. Not I can imagine that the paint must be rock hard if I want to put them back on. So I want to put them in the oven for an hour at a certain temperature. Does anyone how high I should put my oven? I'm talking about a normal cooking oven.

set for 175 deg F should be fine bake for 30 mins then let cool to room temp, the paint may still be tacky till the lugs are cool
