decided to give the old girl a smarten, is it easier/cheaper to spray all the bolts, or order a kit containing pre coloured bolts ?
 
i use paint and a small paintbrush from a art set, very therapeutic!!!!!!
 
thats what i was thinking, also want to paint my rad cover, did you take half of the bolts out, paint, then replace and do the other half?
 
Not sure if 4vr is just jesting!

But if you paint them the paint will flake the first time you do them up, or release them... which will look naff!

Best to buy quality anodised, or stainless, etc.
 
not jesting, i find after a year of riding, soon as i see salt on the road i tend not to ride my good bike and the hack comes out,
cleaning the bolts only makes them worse, as the finish comes off

clean then, copper grease the threads, bolt them up then paint them, 2 coats seems to do the trick, doesnt flake!

or get them refinished or buy some nice stainless bolts off ebay, im not a fan of silver, stealth is the future!!! so i self pimp!!!

my v4 is already showing rust from being caught out in the rain :( i beleieve in preventative mearsures rather than spending my time painting bolts lol !

i have recently devoloped a love for acf50, i still paint my bolts lol
