Can anyone tell me what paint's the best match for the wheel nuts? Mine's on stands now for a while given the muddy roads where I live and the respray and diffuser repair work I've had done, so time to tidy the wheels up a little.

They are black, so I guess any stuff will do, I tried Plasticote stuff. Why bother? new ones are about £1.50 each or you can get a stainless set for about £45 that will never need doing again. As soon as you put a wheel brace on the painted ones it will ruin the finish.

I will be there one of the months - looking like Feb now but will come over before then probably. I'm doing a 50 mile walk in a couple of weeks and most prep walks seem to fall at the month end it's turned out. Cars been fantastic so far but still not tracked.

I know that each wheel brace use means for scuffs but there's a bit of rust and the brake paint has a nice finish so was trying to match that really.
