   Good point lol, well I've done one lot of them yellow while the wheel dries, it's hammerite and pretty thick so I might be in luck!
   
   Looking pretty funky

   If you've got a steady hand, mask around the bolts and hand paint them whilst they're tightened.

   nice touch..might be a bit tricky but if they do chip then could always touch it up with a thin paint brush...if its even noticable that is.

    Yea true. If you've got the patience I suppose you could do it everytime you took 'em off and back on again

    can try taping them up in insulating tape, or some other strong thick tape for tightinh them on? might stop any marks or chipping.
