Painting rear axle nut
After a 2+ month wait, I finally got my Work Emotion CR Kais. Unfortunately the RS-R lugs are on backorder
Anyways, since these rims do not come with center caps, I plan on removing the rust from the wheel hubs and painting them black. I've done a search on the forums and it seems like this is a popular option.
My questions is whether or not I can paint the rear axle nut. I haven't found any threads on this. I find it's a bit of an eye sore and draws attention away from the rims.

Do the axle nut mod/tightening before you paint it (if not already done). If your rims aren't black, consider painting it the rim color to avoid the black hole look.

Thanks guys I will look into all the suggestions. Rims are matte gunmetal. I'll see if they have a gunmetal colour if not black should be ok since the rims are fairly dark.
