Default Screw covers.

Those push on covers for CSK Pozi screws as found on some kitchen
cabinets, etc. The smaller of the two commonly available, so about 12mm
diameter. Loads on Ebay, but not the colour I need - dark grey. It's for
the old car - has had the windscreen replaced and they lost some of the
originals from the screen surround trim.

I know they could be painted at a pinch, but not had 100% success with
this before, even using a primer and paint sold as being suitable.

Yup. Lots of colours I don't want. The one I do is dark grey.

As I said, dark grey. As opposed to light grey who everyone sells.

Sadly nowhere near the right shade of grey. Very difficult to tell from
online pics. I'd call it mid, rather than dark grey. So the search
continues.
