I hope the paint sticks when you tighten them.

I prefer to run mine though my bench grinder that has a wire wheel on it and then clear coat.

I don't think that's OCD. I think it's pretty normal.

I mean after your socket has metal on metal contact and you get some engine fluids on them.

I put painters tape on the inside of the socket, these bolts dont require a ton of torque.

Just so you know, these are all grade 8 chrome socket cap and they still look as good today as they did 2 years ago when I did this firewall.

But what would I know.

And here is a motor done with, for the most part, wire wheeled stock bolts with clear coat. Unless I could use chrome for the purpose.

To each their own I guess.

I respect all the work you have put into the car, including the headlights.

But I dont give a shit about all the flashy stuff you have. My car is black, I like black, and the only thing other than black on my car is the dark pearl purple VC.

But your bolts do look nice.

Hope the clear doesnt crack off then rust...

BTW, your turbo has some rust on it. And looks like some rust on those motor mount bolts too.

I've always thought when I see a clean enigne bay, the owner either bought all new bolts/screws or sandblast them to look brand new.

But I once messed around one time while replacing my front bumper, I took a few rusted bolts and bought some Rustoleum paint flat black from DG. I sprayed them let set for 5 mins the paint dries fast, and its mainly for outdoor furniture, BQ grills and turn the rust into primer but has a clearcoat. I also used used the same one-two dollar can of Rustoleum on stock steelie wheels, for winter tires. All I did was cleaned them with a wire brush and spray the wheels with a rattle can.

Tek, when you mean sand you used a dremel w/ small disc sand each bolt and used primer then clearcoat paint. That takes too long, you must alot of patience to each bolt.

Skip the primer/clear and just use a dremel sand each rusted bolt and spray with Rustoleum and then clean the threads so they won't break. But the head might. There was a few that did break

I would just buy all new ones, most are 10mm with different thread pitch.

The point I was trying to make is that all of the painted parts on my ride are now blistering. My project is now 7 years old and I see what happens over time to parts. I was just trying to lend a hand.

I hope you guys had a Merry Christma emoji
