Default powder coating OEM lug nuts

like title says, has anyone done it?

I donīt like that my rims are golden, and my lugs are silver/chrome

I bought some cheap blue muteki lug nuts, and the paint comes off after a year, lowest quality

Any suggestions?

I would mask off the seat area, but I don't see why you couldn't do it.

powder coat will almost always last longer than painting. on lug nuts, the paint would last until the first time you set a wrench to them.
