I'm putting black wheels on my ute next week (sprayed BA GT-P rims) and I want to use a black wheel nut. Ive had no luck finding any. The F6 nuts are what I want but they are $22 from Ford!

Has anyone had any experience painting/coating their wheel nuts?

Has anyone had any issues with the OEM nuts cracking/flaking off their paint?

Cheers

if you were to paint them, you would ahve to power coat them pretty thick so it doen't come off everytime you undo the wheels nuts IMO, maybe a good clear coat on them might help?

that's what im thinking or maybe just cover the outside half of the nut and hope they dont crack, either way they will be a bit@h to take off.

The genuine F6 nuts look like they are just painted and I can't figure out how they stay black?

I think you'll find there ( anadised ) black . I 've got a set I may sell with geniune look nuts .

is it possible to heat them up and drop them in engine oil like the old bluing process.

How much?

I'm still not sure how they are coated.

I went to pick up the rims today and they tire joint had scratched the fresh paint trying to "clean" them! FFS now I have to wait another week but damm they looked good!

hey mate, I just had a look at a set on one of our stock tornados, it looks like they have been coated the same way they have done the wheels...

Paint??? that's what I thought but that's not going to hold up to well

dunno, could be anodised, but it seems too thick for anodising, more like powder coating?
