   Strange question this one i have black alloys and just about to buy some chrome wheel bolts as my wheels are black how can i change the colour of my bolts to black was thinking of spraying them but then thought it might not be a good idea as would come off when putting back in can i get them power coated any ideas would be great?

   powder caoted would be best bet as it will be harder then painting
   
   anodised ones if you can get them to
   
   you could paint them and maybe put tape inside your socket so you dont scratch them but there is that chance you still might damage them
