Prevent rusty hubs?
I know you can't see them with the wheel on, but sometimes when I wash the car water that contacts that rust drips down afterward and causes staining on the wheel barrel. Is there a coating that can be put on the hubs to stop them from rusting? Is there some kind of spray paint for metal that doesn't require using a primer before painting metal?

This seems to be an answer as well:

I'm either going to go with these, or get their AC Delco set. A nice, relatively inexpensive mod that will improve what I have. Nice.
