They were placed before the axle got the black. Thus, they were painted after install. Interesting, every one that I have ever seen restored was popped in after the paint job showing the big red dot. Learning as we go on this one, thats for sure..

They were placed before the axle got the black. Also correct The plugs are made of injection molded Polyethylene which is a very slick plastic that paint will not chemically bond to, therefore it flakes off rather easily. Most cars had enough exposure to the elements to wash or wear the thin layer of paint off so many people have mistaken a bare dirt covered plug for one that never got painted.
