question about wheels - 3/6/2008 6:26:59 PM    hawaiisaab93   Posts: 208 Joined: 9/27/2007 Status: offline ok ive put aftermarket wheels on my car...black with a chrome lip...on APRIL 1st a paint shop is going to paint the chrome merlot to match my car ( ill post pics) but they were talkin about not being able to paint the bolts ( i have like 20 chrome bolts going around outside of my rim) for whatever reason they probably wont be able to paint them...so I was wondering If I could  maybe buy touch up paint from saab and do it myself...(i hear paint wont stick to chrome) idk enough about -paints or painting chrome so am wondering if anyone knows a way to do it(the people at paint shop said they will have to sand chrome off and apply  something so when they paint it it will not come off...if I paint the bolts will it be ok? is their a easier way?anyone have experience with painting???
