Centipede Restoration
Level42:
Geez, I just zoomed in on the Centipede flyers and it actually looks like that cab had recessed bolts ! I can't make out any bolts on the CP ! Actually, that's what they should have done. Looks great and now bumbs around the trackball.....guess it was cheaper to drill holes than to weld the bolts.....

So that these don't rust, I want to either clear coat them or paint them. What color should they be?

They are supposed to be steel or chrome.
I recommend you get some Mothers steel rim polishing compound [from any auto parts or hardware store] and polish up those heads. If you use something like a Dremel with a polishing bit, those heads will shine up to a mirror like finish and will look great when installed.
Spyridon:
1 vote steel, 1 vote black. Anyone else?
HaRuMaN:
Steel, polished
WunderCade:
Black to match your cone buttons. Someone actually showed how to re-anodize those things so they are black again. I think it was Level42? Or possibly his friend Bruno? Maybe he can chime in here.
