o i have been looking around for some ways to spice up my engine bay even more so what better way then getting rid of rusty bolts...ahh a solution password jdm beauty washers seen here..http://passwordjdm.com/PasswordJDM-Fender-Washers-P1997C325.aspx

pppshhhhh b***h please 16.99 for 5 hahahah so i went on a mission and heres what i did one word lowes

the screws....M6x1.00 16 and M6x1.00 20 for headlights


the washers #12 finish washers


the paint Duplicolor metalcast comes in purple red blue chrome and gold i think


now just get ever thing out of the packages and i also sprayed mine with and adhesion promoter and they painter them with 3 coats allowing like 5 mins between coats...then left them dry and put them in place of the rustyness here are the final results





my total for about 30 washers and bolts was like 20 bucks and paint was like 6 bucks so that is 26 bucks for 30 beauty washers with left over paint to do hundreds more....you want to pay 16.99 for 5 from password...thats what i thought lol

looks great, and if the paint starts to come off it would be real easy to redo/replace. I noticed those bolts on password a month or two ago and thought they were cool. i like your solution

Nice job. I saw those washer sets on PWJDM and I about crapped myself when I saw the price. You can also get stainless steel hex head bolts and washers at True Value or Ace hardware in the bulk section.
