Took side covers off to be painted.
PO had them off prior, & the philips heads are starting to get damaged where the bit engages.
Bought some stainless allen heads off Ebay to give a try.
They are srainless colored.
Should they be put on As Is, or painted black as the old ones where.
Opinions needed
Leave them bare. Paint will look crappy after a while. If you want them black they should be properly plated/anodized.
Also, I apply a little oil or anti seize to the threads when installing.
FYI - the original cross-head screws that you took out are not Phillips, they are JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard). That is why they always get boogered up because people don't use the correct screwdriver (or bit) on them.
I polished mine instead of trying to paint them.
Leave them, they look good that way in my opinion.
yeah, id leave them as well. :twocents:
I prefer shiny, here's what you could expect...

OK.
Verdict is in.
They stay Stainless.
Whole set was only $25.
I could always order another set, paint, & then see how it looks.
