no.... what im saying smart guy, is if u keep layering and layering on paint, the socket wont fit. u can force it on there but its gonna scrape off the paint in the process. u cant use a bigger socket because it wont fit right and it will most likely strip the lug nuts when u go to torque them, not to mention strip off the paint. what needs to be done is 1 or 2 coats just to cover the lug nuts. then extreme care needs to be given when putting them on and takng them off or they will chip.
