Coloured Bolts
This article was originally written in Turkish and translated with the help of artificial intelligence.
Some of the tank bolts on my Monster were missing, and the rest looked worn. Having them constantly in view was getting on my nerves. I couldn't find the originals anywhere either. The other day I went out and bought some suitable screws. They came in black too, but an idea occurred to me, so I bought the shiny ones. The picture above shows them after the first coat with my airbrush at home. I was grumbling that the colour had come out too light; they look dark because it was late afternoon.
After the second coat:

I'm still not sure about the colour.
I started fitting them:

They didn't turn out half bad :) While I'm at it, I'll paint the handlebar bolts and the shiny mirror screws too. Looking at the handlebar, you'd think it had been taken off 50 times; mind you, the tank bolts looked the same. The result of poor workmanship, I suspect.
Those are done too. :)
