Surefire way to paint chrome screwheads black?
(1/4) > >>

I have some chrome screwheads on my cabinet. Is there a tried and true way to somehow paint them black?  I'm looking for some type of spray-paint-on solution here which would be resistent to scratches/muffs. Any info would be appreciated.

p.s. purchasing black hardware is a non-preferable option right now. Thanks.

Don't bother painting them!  Buy a screw cover - it's much much cleaner and they are like $0.07 each.  I used them on the screws that attach my speaker grills to my cabinet and they give a very professional look/finish.  Here's the comparison:

Oops... didn't see that...  I still think it's the best option though...   ;D

You can't just paint chrome.... The paint will not stick to the surface properly. It will peel and chip and scratch.

A few black screws are way cheaper than a can of paint!!

well, where do I get them? I mean I'm using some thin screws (w/ bolts) to secure my Midway style speaker covers on the cabinet. If I could locate where to purchase that would be awesome. thanks.
