I have a set of 2ltr alloys with the recess paddles still annodized. I have a set of the long alloy lug bolts that I would like to use with them. On my other 914, I painted the recess paddles satin black and the lug nuts...which was easy.
I want to leave this set of wheels original looking... Painting the bolts satin black, I don't think will look good. What can I do to make the stock bolts go with the annodized paddles? Have the lugs chromed? I think this may look too shiny. Paint the lugs some sort of sliver to match wheels???? Powder coat the lugs?? Looking for ideas...sorry no pics at the time, but I believe everyone knows what stock 2ltr alloys looks like. |

Well, worked on my project cars wheels today that I recently bought. Stripped the painted recesses with aircraft strippper. I was able to quickly remove the paint without harming the anodize below. Gave the wheels a good scrubbing and some polish.
I experimented painting the long steel lugs with some "bumper chrome paint" by plasti-kote with some amazing results...at least I think so. I was suprised how well the lugs came out. They actually look like chrome. Attached thumbnail(s)
