Lug Nuts & Nose Con

I made another quick trip to CenterLine yesterday, up in Santa Fe Springs. I needed to pick up four sets of lug nuts for the rims. When I got the rims, it didn't occur to me that I might need different lugs.

After some preliminary sanding on the nose cone, I found a ton of little pin holes that needed to be patched. I'm sort of doing an experiment here, by using the squeegee that came with the putty to apply. My intuition is that this is too much, and maybe something more directed like a 90 degree x-acto would be better suited.
