Custom Painted Self Piercing Crimp Screws - 12 X 1/2 Steel Zinc

 

These custom painted self piercing crimp screws were manufactured in Taiwan with a self crimping serrated washer head feature ideal for thin sheet metal applications.  The exposed washer and head surfaces were painted to match our customer provided samples after going through a cleaning process to remove any excess oil or wax.  Lead time for most sizes with painted head is 3-4 weeks from order.  Self drilling variation is also available upon request.

Metallic Silver Painted Machine Screws - 10-24 X 1" COTS Stainless Steel Machine Screws

These custom matched metallic silver painted machine screws are supplied to our long time customer in annual quantities of approx. 150,000 pieces using a revolving blanket purchase order.  A standard off the shelf 18-8 stainless steel 10-24 X 1 machine screw is used, which is typically manufactured in Taiwan or mainland China, and the painting and sealing of the heads is done domestically in the USA to maintain the desired finish quality.  Typical lead time for this type of painting work is 4-5 weeks from the placement of order.

Charcoal Painted Truss Head Screws - 14-10 X 1-3/4 Type A Sheet Metal Screws In 18-8 Stainless Steel

We supply these charcoal painted truss head screws on a revolving blanket purchase order basis, with annual usage at approximately 100K pieces.  The truss head screws measure 14-10 X 1-3/4 with type A sheet metal screw thread.  The large sharp threads on these screws, combined with the large surface area of the truss head, make these parts very difficult to handle.  Without extra care in packaging, with layers of protection between every 1,000 pcs or so, the painted head gets scratched enough to cause cosmetic issues.

Custom Black Painted Screws - Stainless Steel #6 X 1/2" Type A Sheet Metal Screws

We supply these custom black painted screws to our architectural element design and build customer in Los Angeles.  They are 18-8 stainless steel type A sheet metal screws measuring #6-18 X 1/2" that are then stripped of any wax to prepare for the painting process.  The black paint is formulated to match our customer's samples and a satin sheen is incorporated to match that of the paneling they will be used on.  We typically run batches of 30,000 pcs of this specific color and screw, with lead time ranging from 3-5 weeks from initial order confirmation.

Custom Painted Sheet Metal Screws - 18-8 Stainless Steel Material

These are 6 X 1/2 custom painted sheet metal screws that we had painted for our architectural design customer to match their custom paneling.  The darker color on the left is mixed to match the RAL 1019 brown while the lighter color on the right is formulated to match RAL 1015.  Both color screws were finished with satin sheen clear coat to create the more matte finish desired by our customer and required by their finish samples provided.  We typically run parts like this in bulk quantities and the lead time for the paint process is 3-4 weeks.

Light Brown Painted Button Socket Screws - 6/32 X 5/16 Tamper Proof Security Screws & Standard Socket Cap Screws

Our customer requested these light brown painted button socket screws in batches of approximately 2,500 pcs of both the security screw version and the standard button socket version.  Pin-in button socket drive was used for the security screw and both parts measured 6-32 X 5/16.  Alloy steel with thermal black oxide was used for the base part material, and the security screws had a wax coating that required stripping prior to the paint application.  Painting the screws without this stripping process would result in a good looking part until you actually tried to use them, at which point the paint easily chips and peels off the surface.  Unfortunately it's often difficult to discern whether the part has this wax coating or not, requiring a sample test run to be sure.

Orange Painted Sheet Metal Screws - #8 X 3/4" in 18-8 Stainless Steel

These orange painted sheet metal screws are one of the brighter and more colorful painted screws we supply our customer base.  Most of the painted screws are in more subdued varieties of white, grey, and brown to match a variety of paneling used by our customers in their respective assembly lines.  The base screw itself is a standard off the shelf 18-8 stainless steel #8 X 3/4" type A sheet metal screw.  Lead time for this color is similar to the others at 2-3 weeks from order confirmation but an expedited processing option is typically available upon request.

Custom Matte Painted Screws - 10-24 x 2 Inch Phil Pan Machine Screws In Different Version of Grey

These are 3 different custom matte painted screws we supply our long time customer - different shades of grey with one (on the right) incorporating metallic flake features with a darker overall look.  All three colors were finished with a flat sheen clear coat to create the matte final result.  This clear coat process was the trickiest part of the process as each color changed differently once that final coating was applied - often requiring a drastic reformulation of the base color to anticipate the adjustments that will take place.  Thankfully, once this initial manipulation is completed the results can be easily replication on subsequent orders.

Custom Painted Sheet Metal Screws

These custom painted sheet metal screws are just one example out of hundreds of different fasteners we supply our existing customer base with matching paint or sand blast finish to the mating assembly component.  Typically the customer provides us a sample of this mating component for color matching purposes and then we supply samples of screws with the matching formula.  The customer also often specifically instructs us to the sheen preferred - matte, flat, semi-glossy, etc.  Once the customer approves our provided matching samples we are off to the races to get the full volume painted.
