Flat lug/plasti dip question
I just picked up a set of Enkei Super 7's, but when I went to put them on the car, I noticed that our lug nuts start shaving into the rim (oops).
After a bit of research, it seems like I need flat lug nuts in 12x1.25. Went to autozone and the guy looked at me weird. They're called mag seat, right? Also, when I tried plastidipping the wheels yesterday, everything seemed to pool up even though I put on light coats. It's about 36F outside, maybe too cold to plasti dip? |

Yes, paint/plasti usually needs to be above 60F. I heat my spray cans in a bucket of hot tap water. This increases the pressure inside the can, and makes the bottom half of the plasti can not "spittle". If the pressure drops, warm the can back up. I also warm up my parts inside before taking them outside to spray. Then I bring my parts back in my shop to dry. It works ok, if it is cold outside.

Also, I saw that image, but I can't seem to actually find any lug nuts in a relatively local location. Tried both Autozone and Pepboys and both give me a confused look. They said they only carry acorn. |
