is there a easily accessible way of painting just the top part of a screw…I got some screws, on the outside of my stick…is there a reliable, no-chip way to paint the top exposed end of the screw?
You could paint them but I think they would chip and scratch when you try to screw them in. If you want colored screws, you should get anodized aluminum hex screws. Something like this.
$3 for colored screws? Lol I guess if you really want them that bad.
Painting them would be bad, the paint would chip and peel too easily.
I think if you have enough money to buy a stick, then getting a pack of $3 screws isn’t too bad. Don’t eat lunch for a day?
Never take the cheap option imo. If spending a few more dollars on it just to have those coloured screw is what will make the difference between a clean, or flakey finish, then just spend the money. If you couldn’t afford the project to begin with, then just postpone it for a little, and buy the screws next pay. Don’t do the quick finish.
