Good point lol, well I've done one lot of them yellow while the wheel dries, it's hammerite and pretty thick so I might be in luck! :)

Looking pretty funky

If you've got a steady hand, mask around the bolts and hand paint them whilst they're tightened.

nice touch..might be a bit tricky but if they do chip then could always touch it up with a thin paint brush...if its even noticable that is.

Yea true. If you've got the patience I suppose you could do it everytime you took 'em off and back on again :P

can try taping them up in insulating tape, or some other strong thick tape for tightinh them on? might stop any marks or chipping.
