I'm considering painting the stainless screws that hold the panel in place. Does anything special need to be done to prep them for the paint to stick? I'm using PPG auto paint if it matters.



Thanks,

Jay

Just scuff them up and you should be OK painting them like normal.

it won't bond quite as well, but paint about 2x the number of screws

you really need, and just keep them handy so if you scratch one up

bad you can replace it.  I've got lots of painted stainless screws

on mine and they aren't bad at all....better than the black oxide ones

that I used, that I still had to paint black.  Next time I'll use

stainless of those too and paint them.

I did the following

320 sandpaper or scotchbrite.

clean

prime

paint



I recall Tim shows how she painted his screws on his site.

Haven't tried that yet but should work after a quick thinner wipe.  It 

works well with galvanized screws using Imron products



I had SS cap screws holding my panel but went to black - just bought 

replacements from McMaster Carr.  I assume you are using flat head SS 

screws and I don't think you can buy them in black or colors.

Yeah, just paint some extra so that when you scratch them

up, you can throw in some new ones.  I still have a bunch

that I painted originally, so I haven't had to do any

touchup other than on the black ones.
