looking for gun metal grey lug nuts

I can't find any steel gunmetal grey lug nuts. I have found some forged aluminium ones but I prefer steel. I am thinking of getting a set powder coated but that is a little more than I would like to spend on lugnuts. I am going to paint an old set of center caps the same as the center of my wheels and would like the lugs to match. I know paint will not hold up well on the lugs though.

Does anyone know where I can find them?

Don't know but have an alternative you may want to consider.

Maybe try stock lugnuts with the lugnut covers. You can get the covers at most auto stores, then spray paint them. They can be put on by hand and not fall off. I just think even powdercoated paint is going to scratch slightly.

thought did cross my mind. And powder coating them is going to run over 100 because I don't have the equip, I either have to buy it or pay to have them done.
