    Thumbs up

    I took the bolts out of the rims to get the rust of them etc,
    and i was just going to give them a sand back and leave them silver and maybe polish them up a bit, but then i had a think about painting the nuts black.

    Ive attached 2 quick photoshops to get an idea, just tell me what you think in terms of looks or even durability of the paint (e.g. pointless because it will come off or whateva).

    thanks,



    Richard

    I like the bolts painted black, it gives some contrast as long as you prepare the bolts properly for painting you should have no troubles with reguards to keeping the paint on etc
