I am trial fitting some sexy black traveler and Genoa tracks on Rutu. I
have the fitting just about perfect but the only thing you see is the
glaring stainless flat head screws. I cannot find 316 stainless 5/16 x 3"
flat head machine screws in black oxide 316. How hard is it to put a
durable black oxide finish on 316 and how do you do it.

Since you can powder coat you could just grind a few thou off the screw
heads and then the clearance will not be a problem.

Plan "B" would be just to use a marker and make them black.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.





I could powder coat them black but that might make the heads stand up a
little and interfere with the precision slides.
