I pulled off the center caps and sprayed them seperately, then popped them back in. And the lugnuts are Gorilla black lugnuts. I pulled the wheels off to paint (dip) the wheels.

I actually repainted the rear wheels on my Ram today - doing the front wheels tomorrow. Did them originally in black about 6 years ago and it was time for a refresh. I chose the Dual from Krylon this time in a satin finish. Used flat black Rustoleum wheel paint last time and opted for a little finish this time. Had to do a lot of prep the first round to get the OEM silver ready for primer and paint. This time is was a good degreasing with a brush and 30 minutes wet sanding with 800. The rear wheels turned out good (will post a pic tomorrow). Also painted the rear drums blue (did them red a couple of years ago). I decided to keep the center cap silver with chrome lugs. Do like the black lug nuts. Will have to look around for 4 sets of them. Don't think the chrome will paint and stay.
