    So for the past few days I've scoured the internet for some black case screws. Looking to completely outfit an atcs 840, but I can't seem to find one website that sells common size computer case screws in black. Found some fan screws, but no #6 6/32 or anything else. If someone knows of a store that sells them I would greatly appreciate a link to it.

    Thanks:D

    How would one paint screws and with what that wouldn't flake off easily or mess up the threading?

    Well the easiest way would be to screw the screw into something with a washer, then spray the top black...

    You don't need the whole thing to be black..just an illusion ya know? :worried:

    Industrial suppliers should carry black oxide finished screws. They likely won't be decorative-grade, but they should look better than a painted screw.
