Rustolium satin is a reasonable match to the anodized finish which is not paint. Block sand using 180 to 220 grit paper to remove the mountains. Leave the low spots. Clean with flash solvent. Don’t skip this part as any tire shine in any amount will mess up the paint. 2 Thin coats inside the recommended timeline as provided on the can. Wait a week before installing. Dry to touch is not the same as fully hardened.
Get a “soft socket”. Remove lug nuts with a rattle gun. A couple ugga duggas to break them loose seems to cause less damage. Install by hand. Torque to spec and stop at the first click. ( that part does not matter for the nuts it just bugs me that people double click things)

Peter - Thanks for the spec. I needed that ! Vicegrip - Thanks for the info on the painting. I'll let them set up for a few more days. I was thinking the same thing re' the on and off process. I'm not sure what a "soft socket" is, let me know if you would. I use air-impact to remove (getting old-lol) though to install i can sure hand tighten
