Has anybody just tried a little brush and the paint right out of the gallon from rapco? may try that on a couple bolts/washers, see if it works. If all goes as planned will do the brown and black this weekend.

Update: on bolt painting. used all new bolts, the stirofoam that comes in the gallon boxes from rapco worked great for sticking rows of bolts in. Lghtly primed and painted. Let dry for a couple days, and had none chip off so far. Of course no impact used and were careful to not let bolt turn...

Your right I think, a light coat would not chip as easy. None of these are critical fasteners, so super tight is not required. Gonna work on painting the cab this weekend, so will put some through cardboard and try it, good use for left over paint in the gun as well. Thanks for ideas.

Anybody have any ideas on best way to paint bolts/other fasteners? We've started painting our M35 and was thinking of different ways to paint the bolts. Many items were removed and painted off the truck, which means fasteners were not painted, could always put through holes in a box or hang up...
