Best lug nut paint?
My lug nuts look awful. As does the hub. Is there a particular paint that is better for this? Seems like a great DIY for a simpleton like me. Thanks for any input.

Bolts...but we all know what you meant. I think USMC_DS1 posted a DIY on how to clean - not sure if he discussed paint but you can try a search,

Texas? You don't know what rust is. I'm with nwGTS, in salty Chicago. As to the above chrome comment, it also depends on who is working on your car. A garage that Hammers everything on and off with air impact guns? Nothing is going to survive that.

Those look like lug nuts, not bolts!
I have bolts on my 997, had them on my previous 996 as well.
Very confusing! I thought all 911s had the same wheel bolts.
Maybe there are holes cut in the cardboard with the bolt ends sticking thru!
Duh?

He made a DIY paint stand to hold the bolts while spraying the paint.
