Default Todays Efforts - Part 1 of 2

I have started assembling the wheels to tyres.

Only minor hitch was the 30 minutes it took to tighten the nuts, because I wanted to wrap each one in low tack tape before putting the spanner onto them, to minimise the damage to paint. Notice I didn't say 'eliminate'! I vaguely recall there used to be a rubberised compound you could buy for dipping tool handles. That stuff could possibly have coated the spanner or socket. If I can find the stuff I will try it.

What color do I paint the ends of these wheel bolts? Are they red like the nuts, or green like the wheel?

Rear shock finished. The other one is still soaking to allow easier disassembly.
