I powdercoated the faces of my stockies black chrome myself. Never chipped and looks awesome. If you want a cheap option find some of that bronze wheel paint and just do the faces.

Haha yep, just go to autozone and get some bronze wheel paint. If you prep it good and stuff they shouldnt chip for a longtime.

Lol nahh. For a set of lug nut faces it shouldnt be anymore than $50 for all of them powdercoated. I did 2 sets of the ones I had and sold them for only $45 shipped. For paint take them off, then just do 600, 800, then 1500 grit papers just to get them decent. Tape off the bottoms where the lug wrench would go and spray them bad boys down with some paint!
