So I have some lug nuts that are powder coated where it contacts the rim, whats a good method of removing the powder coating, sandpaper, paint remover ?
I read paint on the contact area it is NOT good, it can screw up proper torquing of the wheels. |

Yes, powdercoat on the contact point can change the torque setting a little. All you have to do is put a little bit of oil between the bolt head and where it meets the wheel. For that matter, a change in temperature will change the torque setting. Wheels don't need to be super accurate, torque them to 90 lbs/ft and you are good.
