Why did they paint my front lug nuts?

[Legman71]

Nice. Bay Area. They're yours if you want them. I'll bring a proper crank vs an impact so I don't goose them when we remove the nuts from your vehicle.

Yes there are 4, unless the spare has a lock as well? If so, they're yours as well.

I'm in 94534. I can swing by wherever you are if it's in the way of our errands this weekend. Suggesting a drop-off for no downtime. We can do mail too. No difference for me since I have some temporaries on.

Thanks man. sorry for the delayed response but I just PM'd you

Mine had them too. I would suspect a QC thing after torqueing properly but why only the front?

Mine also had them. Hoping they fade away or may try some soap and water when the snow clears up.

Try alcohol prep pad- soap and water doesn’t work - I had to work a little to get it off - it’s not actual paint but it acts like it!

The bolts on my port installed front skid plate also had these inspection marks.

My bolts on my FE roof rack as well, those were way worse to remove than lug nuts

My dealer said that there was an issue with some tires and that the marks showed that they had been checked. I scratched the paint marks off with my fingernail.

The paint on mine looked great. I was sad to see it slowly disappear. It was a great match to the heritage blue.

Torque check!
