Lug Nut Paint

[UtahWJR]

Need to paint the lug nuts on my '99 Boxster - what color and type/brand of paint is suggested?

Thanks,

Bill

Bill, I went the lug nut cover route and bought a set from Bumper Plugs that cover the 4 standard bolts and then I used and BLACK SHARPIE marker to cover the top of the 'locking' lug nut so it was black. They provide a little tool to remove them and they look great and dont fall off. Plus you dont have to repaint them over and over.

I hope this helps. I can take a pic if you like.

Let me know

Just get a can of silver paint and paint them. Remove the rust first. The early nuts were prone to rusting. Porsche then came out with a new part number. Something to do with cars int the snow belts. But I have seen rusty nuts here in sunny California. This was a warranty replacement in the olden days.
