Surefire way to paint chrome screwheads black?

I got them at Home Depot in the screw aisle.  There were a ton of different colors to choose from - I guess people cover screw holes in stained wood too!  They actually have the "+" sticking out on the back so they just snap right into place with a slight tap of a hammer.  No glue or anything is required and they are all very secure. You need to slide a razor or something underneath the edge to pop them off.

Thanks.  I'd seen screw covers before but the ones I'd see looked like they'd sit up high, while yours look just about flush with the surface.   

Looks nice.

The best way to get chrome carriage bolts to be black is with gun blueing solution.

Check out Prok's web page on this subject. I've done this and it works great.

The gun blueing solution sounds good.  How about black oxide?

How about you keep it simple... Use nailpolish.
