Better to paint the screws than screw the paints.
They are known in California to contain chemicals that cause birth defects. |

I think it looks more factory, if I leave them unpainted. Besides, I paint the legs with them disassembled and off the the figure. Painting is usually finished, by the time I'm even thinking about the screws.
I do find it odd that my gray Snake Eyes came with black screws, while my black Snake Eyes came with silver screws. |

I'm so hit or miss with the screws. I've gone from not painting, to painting, and even filling/painting. I guess it depends on exactly what I'm doing to the fig, or how I'm doing it.
Filling and painting has recently made it to the top of my list though. |

Yes. I paint them. I've thought about filling them in and painting them too, but so far haven't tried that yet.

I always paint them.. I don't make customs that look like hasbro pieces, so I don't care about them looking factory. I started filling the screw holes too and even filled over some peg holes too on some customs...
Here's my fav example: no peg hole and no screw holes. |
