Nice idea to stop the exposed part corroding. Did you mask off the threads and the wheel clamping face too or remove the paint before re-fitting the wheel?
Yep, used cotton wool to mask off the bolt threads and masking tape to cover the hub centre and small screw head. Painted everything else with several coats so should be good for at least 3-4 years.
