Primer? and of course the silver ?
They look great. For what it's worth I have a set of six lug just like yours to paint.
Media: Just your basic everyday black beauty, extra fine.
Blaster: Most anything will work from a siphon type on up.
Primer: I used a metal etching primer, that could be followed up with an epoxy primer but be sure to use the etch first. This can be bought in a rattle can also. Napa part #7220
Paint: Again, everday [silver argent] rattle can. Napa and many other places sell it. Napa part #7245

This was a "get-r-done" mini project, could of done more with the primer and way more with the painting.
