Painting Wheel Bolts

[ChrisPearson]

My bolts are all rusty and standard clio bolts seem to be too long so im thinking of painting them.

Whats the best way to do this and should i do them silver,white or black?

Ive just relised how stupid this question was.The paint will obviously come straight off as soon as i tighten them

I fail

Not if you line the socket with masking tape!!

Yes, I am sad and try to protect my painted bolts! lol.

Thanks for the tip Daniel.
