Default Powdercoating Lug Nuts

Does anyone know or recommend a place to take lug nuts to get powder coated in Orange County, CA? I purchased 15mm spacers and the lug nuts are a chrome color and do not match the 20 classic Carrera II wheel. Thanks for the help.

I don't....but there's usually a choice of what color with those.

You should be able to paint these yourself. Or buy the titanium ones from the Rennlister, if he can make that long for your spacers.

For powder coating I've used:

CCP Coatings in Detroit
FD Motorsports in Brentwood, CA

If you coat them, and are gentle and don't swap wheels too often, the powder will hold up, but what I recommend to my customers is masking the sides where the socket contacts them and just coating the tops of them that are visible instead. You really don't see the chrome after that unless you are really looking. As for a place in california, check out www.customcoaters.com for a listing of local custom powdercoat shops.



disclaimer, I own and operate a custom high end powdercoat shop, but I am not accepting any new clients.

Might be a bit redneck solution but I made a funnel with a piece of paper, put it in the wheel nut socket and sprayed Plasti dip inside cone to cover them black

Worked like a charm!
