    It's rustoleum wheel paint, graphite. I have thought about painting the camper. If I do, I'll refrain from posting pics so you don't hurt yourself. :D

    I wonder if our lugs are made of steel or not.

    If they are there's this stuff, sold in a local hardware store (and gun shops I'm sure), that you put on the steel and through a chemical reaction turns them a flat black.

    It's real purpose is to restore faded guns back to original black.

    Sounds similar to ospho. It cleans up metals and converts rust to a paintable surface.

    For real, black would be sweet... and a lot cheaper to achieve and maintain than color matched

    Its not really blue and the finish depends on the metal. There are different patinas that well"color"metal.

    Probably not, I doubt they sell kits in hardware stores out gun shops. But it will give you a nice finish, if I had a big enough tank I would be tempted to do my rims.

    Decided I better inspect my spare tire. I wanted an experts opinion so I took it to my local tire shop and they informed me it was 10 years old and the cracks running parallel to the tread was no good. So I got one from a buddy for free and mounted it on the rim. It has about 50% tread left and is the same size as my other tires :D
