What kind of paint for wheel weights?

Hey guys,

I just got my new black rims installed. They had to put some gigantic weights, that look pretty ugly, on the outside of the wheels.

I don't want to get into the debate about whether this was necessary or not. I have known my tire guy for 3 cars and several decades, I trust him and have never had an issue with vibration.

Now I want to paint the weights so that they blend in a bit better. Spray paint is out since I can't take them off of the wheel. I suppose I could use nail polish or something like that, but I do not know how durable it is. Does anyone know of a good, tough, long lasting paint that I can use a tiny brush with?

Thanks!

Just get a paint marker and keep it handy. Touch them up as needed.

hopefully they are steelies. I'd be livid if I paid money for some nice alloys and the tech put weights on the outside of the wheel.

yes, pro comp steelies. Honestly, I don't care about the weights on the outside, I am much more interested in the fact that it is properly balanced.
