Custom Grey Painted Rivets - 1/8 X .375 Stainless Dome Head Rivets Painted Grey

Custom Grey Painted Rivets - 1/8 X .375 Stainless Dome Head Rivets Painted Grey
We supplied these custom grey painted rivets to our customer with 4 other similar grey and brown color.  The customer provided us paint swatches for each color to match and after our initial samples were approved we ran the stainless steel rivets through a strip process prior to painting to eliminate any risk of flaking or cracking of the paint.  The rivets themselves are fully 18-8 stainless steel, measuring 1/8 X .375", with a grip range of .188" to .250".  Lead time for a similar project is typically between 3 and 4 weeks without an expedite request.

Custom Painted Rivets - 1/8 Blind Rivets In Color Matched Green

Custom Painted Rivets - 1/8 Blind Rivets In Color Matched Green
Our customer requested us to match the color of the roofing material for these custom painted rivets.  The color is a shade of dark green and the customer specifically wanted us to paint both sides of the rivet - this is very unusual, with only the visible side typically painted since the blind side is never visible after the rivets are installed.  This dual application required 2 separate paint applications to accomplish the end result, with a strip process completed prior to paint to ensure there was no wax present on the surface.  Any wax present on the surface would result in flaking or peeling of the paint within days of the completed process.
