This might sound cheesy, but I got plain finished ones at Sears Hardware and blacked them out with a permanent marker. They actually look really good, although you might be after that black anodized look. Grade 2 bolts have no markings on them. They're the weakest grade, but fine for home cab use. |

I have put the standard bolts available from hardware stores in the chuck on my drill press and used a fine metal file to "machine" off the raised letters and then follow up with a couple of different grades of sandpaper.. A couple of light coats of satin black from a spray can and they look really nice - I push the bolts into a piece of stryofoam to hold them whilst spraying. Hoops |

I've now checked Lowes, Home Depot, and a couple of privately owned places to no avail. I will check Ace and Osh and if they don't have it I'll go with Hoops suggestion. Thanks for the help, And of course if you find a source let me know. -Chad |

Black nail polish works pretty well for me. |
