Painted the rivets in my wheels. What do you think?

I'm not sure who you are referring to? 
I wanted to devoid my Jeep of anything chrome or silver to the best of my abilities. These and the key hole in the door are all I have left (my d-rings are brushed metal but I want to swap those for black at some point). My other option is to paint the wheel studs black in order to blend in with the wheels. But since I have to go through all the same work to make them black or red, I would rather go red.

He was talking about me because I did the same thing a few weeks ago to my wheels.
I mentioned it a few posts back.
Let me know if you figure out black for keyholes. I've been chrome/ss free since a month after I brought mine home...except for that. I covered the gate key hole, and just take my doors off most of the time to make those disappear.
I really like your rig. Very cool.

Don't worry about him.

Rather than being the head of a bolt, mine actually have the threaded end exposed. There are 16 per wheel and they surface just before the lip of the wheel (pic below). I'm not sure if they will be damaged if I try to remove them so I am going to contact KMC to see if they sell them seperately. Maybe then I can have a stock set and a red set. My alternative is to tape the wheels off and prep and paint while they are still attached. This is do-able but maybe more of a PITA than it is worth.
I'm installing a Rock Hard cage & license plate relocation bracket this week so I think my time maybe spent there instead.
