The flying RV-8 I purchased has bright screws in the wingtips, fairings, etc. The screwheads are almost mirror bright. Most of these are 6-32 and 8-32 in various lengths. I purchased stainless screws at AirVenture 2019 but none have heads as shiny as the ones in the airplane, which have a small rectangle mark. I cannot tell if these screws are polished or chrome plated, and I have not been able to find a source. I checked at West Marine for marine grade stainless screws but they were not as shiny and did not have the rectangle mark. Does anyone have a source for this type of screw?
