Default Got a problem with my lug nuts

Hey, I got my new lug nuts in today, but called procomp (Couldn't get them to call me back), Gorilla and a bunch of places that sold lug nuts and wheels locks and couldn't find black ones that fit my wheels. I ended up ordering chrome ones, but was wondering if anyone here has ever painted chrome lug nuts before. I want to paint them black, but am not sure what kind of paint to buy that will stick to my chrome lug nuts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did it. Scuff the chrome and use a primer first, then a few coats of black. I used. Looks good depending on how often you change/rotate tires... they eventually chip up. Might be able to get them powdercoated cheap

yeah painting your nuts can be

get a 3M scotch-brite pad form autozone or advanced to scuff them up, the better you scuff them up the better the paint will hold
