So Much for Chrome Screws
I know, these small details are sad but.........
I posted up the brushed silver look I tried earlierwhich looked too obvious. This is what I ended up with. I went with a mag red touch up. Now I think they look better than stock
I'd appreciate your thoughts

Hey, I really like that look. I was thinking about going with black satin, but I'm rethinking that yellow might be the way to go.
Thanks for the post.

I like the painted look better also. Are the caps metal or plastic?

You made a good choice Dave, not what you were originally looking for, but a great choice nonetheless.
