What Is Wrong With This Picture?

Thanks Eric.
Do you have a close-up photo of your wheels?

Here are a couple of angles. Sorry if they don't hit it just right, but black lugs on a white wheel in the day are tough to pull from shadows. Tried it with the flash and it was even worse.

Nice thing is the rust is gone. I used Krylon flat black high temp paint and had to test how good the paint is already. Les Schwab mounted one tire backwards I didn't catch till I was back home. Used lug wrench with no coating and they came off with out a hitch or scratch.

I did the same thing about a year ago - here are my before and after shots:

Did something similar last winter using VHT Brake Caliper Paint. Ran all the lugnuts over a wire wheel attachments for the bench grinder before painting. After a few light coats and curing in a toaster oven they looked great. Due to various suspension / brake / alignment work some of the paint had chipped off since spring. A quick hit with an artists' brush has made them look new again, touch up took less than 5 minutes.
