Rivets required
I am after some 4mm sealed rivets finished in black.
They are for a Westfield and Westfield do have them in stock but at around 16 pence each I am a little reluctant to purchase them as I need 700
rivets.
I have had good look round the internet but I cannot find any in stock Spalding Fasteners don’t have any does anyone know of any other potential
suppliers?
Thanks in advance

Cant really help other than suggesting google and a bit of ringing round.
The ones in the photo are also blind rivets, for whats its worth.

Can you not spay paint standard alloy rivets. I did this for the interior panels on my kit.

The ones I have just look like they've been sprayed anyway, so as said if money is an object spray your own, they'll probably be just as
durable.
What is the application for 700? !

That's maybe a step too far.
But it's a valid point, that for a can of rattle on etch primer you could paint self-coloured ones.
Slightly surprised the black ones are not an anodised finish, but equally they do look like it could just be paint!

Good luck with that, I spent weeks trying to find black anodised all-aluminium closed rivets. What I did find is that you can get closed steel ones
that are painted black, anodised aluminium closed rivets with a steel mandrel, but nothing totally aluminium or anodised. I ended up using plain
closed rivets and blowing them over same colour as the car in the end.
If you do find a supplier, please keep us informed!

700 rivets for a Westfield apparently with the outer alloy panels.
These are steel mandrel with alloy body they do look like they have been painted black, Spalding Fasteners do them 700 for around £60 but are out of
stock and not getting any more at the moment.
Painting them not a bad idea.
