I had a screw loose and then I lost it!
 Seriously, I need to find one of these (see photo) I could, put any old screw in there but I want it to match the factory black anodized Philips head screws that are currently in there. Attach file:  missing-screw.jpg (63.89 KB) |

How about spray paint? Just an idea.
Also, are you sure they are anodized? That's usually reserved for aluminum, and I doubt those screws are aluminum. |

Good point Matt, but they are black and not painted so they have some conversion coating on them. They could be some other kind of hardcoating. |

I'm just trying to figure out what they are actually coated with. Then it's easier to track them down.

I can't be 100% certain, but I think the coating is called "black oxide" and it's GM standard GM 4347M.
That might help track some screws down. For example: http://www.fastener-express.com/black-oxide-fasteners.aspx Matthew |

I always thought it was a parkerized finish, like on WWII hand guns.

Is that because you don't have an interior to put them in?  |
