Default painted pop rivets LP4-3
Can anyone recommend a painted pop rivet to use where an LP4-3 would be used? My particular application is for the RV-8 F-804N-1 bulkhead caps. It would be great to get these in a "light grey" (RAL 7035). The LP4-3 seems to be aluminum with a steel shank. Thanks!

You can paint the rivets ahead of time and then pull them. Works like a charm...

From Vans:

The industry part number that is what we call the LP4-3 rivet is ?GSMD41-43APG? and the CS4-4 is ?GSMC42-44APG?.

Default Alodine
Anyone ever try Alodine on them? They are aluminum so I would think they would turn a nice color. Might try a couple to find out.

Default paint before pop
Looks like I'll just paint the rivets I have before popping them on. Thanks for the tips!
