New paint on wheels

[Matt]

I've just painted my steels, and I'm about to fit them, thing is I don't want the paint to scrape off as I tighten the wheel bolts, is there anything I can use in between the bolt and the face of the wheel? The steels use flat or tapered bolts by the looks of things and I have a set of flats already, which I'm gunna use, but want to get tapered in future.

If I use the flats they will scrape the paint off when tightened and then when I use tapered you will see the scrape, and I want to avoid that if possible





Or has anyone got a full set of tapered bolts I can have today?

[Jimbo]

There's nothing you wanna put in between especially not copper slip etc. Ideally you don't really want the paint where the bolts seat but that shouldn't cause an issue

[Grant]

Bolts with washers?


Or just wait till you have tapered bolts.....



:p

[Matt]

I'm extremely impatient, I have to wait till Thursday for payday, and the source some, and then get them sent to me.

I want them on now goddamnit

You can use a little grease, but between washer and bolt face.
Its the bolt thread tension that locks it in place
