Painting wheel nuts

Forgive me if this is a stupid question...

Providing it's not too wet this weekend I'm going to give my steel wheels a bit of a refurb and spray them black. The wheel nuts are very rusty looking though and would stick out like a sore thumb on a black wheel, so I thought I'd give them a quick de-rust and spray them black as well.

Does anyone know if this is a complete waste of time? I don't want the paint to come off of the nuts as soon as I put the socket on them to put the wheels back on. I was thinking of using wheel paint for the nuts as well as the wheels.

Thanks

you be wasting your time painting the nuts in my opinion

you can buy new sets of nuts for not alot if you realy need to

Just give them a blast of paint when theyre back on? Easy does it

I bought black plastic domed wheel nut covers from eBay.
Look proper neat.

Them's 'em!

Thanks for the recommendations. I think I'll go for the black covers as they are cheap and cheerful. When the covers are all stolen by chavs I'll get new wheelnuts.

LOL.
They'll be lucky, I can't get mine off without a tool of some sorts.
No chance with bare fingers.
BUT, as you say, cheap and cheerful.
:-D
