Get rid of any paint in the wheel nut holes...!!!

This can definitely be an issue. Clean ALL paint from the nut seats. Check the back face of the wheels while your at it. You don’t want paint on where they seat against the hub.

Paint on the nut or wheel hole faces acts as a boundary lubricant. Not what you want.
