Painting NASCAR Lug Nuts

[Scott J]

Just looking for ideas and suggestions on painting the lug nuts on a 1/24th wheel. In my opinion, I feel its one of the most important details on the finished build, but I have been struggling to get a good quality finished product. 

Most of the time I use a silver Sharpie and just try to get decent coverage without hitting the wheel itself. Sometimes I try to use a silver or gold paint marker but they tend to "flood" right onto the wheel. 

Has anybody had any luck or have any good suggestions for me? 
Thanks

Lugnuts on the NASCAR Cup cars and most likely the other series too are painted bright yellow to be easier to see.
I would take a small brush and yellow paint and paint them, keep the brush fairly dry and the paint will not flow away into the wheel.
