Painting lugs is gonna be hard only because your more then likely gonna mark them up putting them on, your best bet imo would be to try to find some in black. As far as finding lugs locally youll have to find youe nearest "tuner" shop more then likely.

Don't do it, it's going to peel off after you tighten them. If not, it will over time.

use whatever you want cause its gonna chip off anyway. you can help yourself out by lightly sanding the lugs first, shooting a primer coat, shooting lots of color, and by being extra careful when you install/remove the lugs. touch up as needed.

Yeah not going to last as previously stated. Not sure how to achieve that, never really thought about it...

It'll look terrible.

Only way to do it is to powdercoat them, but you're better off buying ones that have been anodized or PCd from the factory.

Sell the nuts you got and buy a new set.
