Hey Bill,



I fooled around with spraying a bunch of screw heads, but here's what I 

ended up doing.  Spraying the heads tends to fill up the slot and painting 

the heads after installed with a small paint brush really doesn't take that 

much time, doesn't fill the slot, doesn't "weld" the screw to the body, 

doesn't use much paint, have overspray, etc.  The countersunk parts that 

receive the screws that got painted without screws in them, caused tears in 

the paint when screws were tightened in them, so I quickly learned to drill 

out the paint before seating screws in them.



One of my wife's make up "paint" brushes works great --   Later, -  Lew "No, 

Honey, I haven't seen it" Gallagher
