    I keep Krylon satin black and the black primer that goes with it for quickie jobs like this....
    The finish doesn't last long especially if you don't use a 'soft socket' ...
    But then you strip'm and do'm again... Ya'got to strip them before the re-paint or there's too much paint build-up for the socket...

    I wouldn't even try!
    I have it good authority that many lug nuts have slipped by concours judges with magic marker touchups. Try it. It works.
