- Black, White, Ivory, Slate Gray, Fabral Charcoal
- Antique Bronze, Brown, Burgundy
- Red, Crimson Red, Evergreen, Hartford Green
How do I pick the right painted rivet?
- Base material: aluminum, steel, or stainless based on environment
- Head style: dome for general use, large flange for thin or soft sheet, countersunk for a flush surface
- Color match: verify under jobsite lighting and by batch
- Grip range and diameter: match to stack thickness; use specified drill size and deburr
