How would I go about powder coating my lugs? Is it something that I can easily do at home, or do I have to have them done professionally?
And will the powder coat withstand the wear and tear from the lug wrench?

 

why, just buy some aftermarket ones that are already colored

but for powdercoating i would say they have to be professionally done

 

Moneys kinda tight right now, so.

 

powder coating costs money too and not really doable at home, so would have to have a pro do it

 

Dont think it would last at all.

 

^that
and the supplies u need with out cost just buying some powder coated lug nuts

 

i jus keep paintin mine over n over....take wheel off..scrath..put wheel on..more scratches...tape up wheel..paint lugs...done fresh till next time i switch

 

... it's gonna flake off when you bolt them back on. like everyone else said, buy an already colored set. or if they're aluminum, maybe anodize them?

 

kinda a pain in the ass to paint them every time the wheel comes off, but each their own with how anal they are with painting stuff (i be doing it every oil change , cause i rotate every oil change)

 

basically all factory lug nuts are steel (there are exceptions to sports car and such), so if he had aluminuim, he would already have aftermarket lug nuts

 

Just buy some

 

I will end up buying them. l0l. But isnt powder coating just paint it and throw it in the oven or something?

 

^theirs more too it, but basically yea

 

x2, plus throw in a little chrome plating, with how the part is electrically charged during the process

 

they do that with normal painting on cars too, it is called a paint booth to help cure it, doesn't get quite as hot as a oven, but it can still hit 150 F degrees or so (not quite sure on how hot it exactly gets though, so kinda an educated guesstimate)

 

i thought ebay lugs were really cheap like under 40 bucks

 

So would they hold up if I were to paint, and bake at a high temp?

 

Powder coating requires that the part be electrostatically charged so the powder will "stick" to it until the baking process. We usually heat the parts to 450 degrees F so the powder will cure properly.

That's PC in 30 sec or less, it can't be done at home.....

 

^^ o_0 .....whoa....to much for me...

and as for repaitin it..i only do one layer...no biggy..15 min prep... 2 min paint...DONE.
