Help w/ Exterior Door Hinge Bolts

[Rotsam]

Trying to source bolts for the exterior hinges - the ones that affix the hinge to the door, not the retention nut on the bottom. My wife wants to finish the blackout of the hinge, and the pink bolts just make it look weird to us.

I tried these from JeepBolts: https://jeepbolts.com/products/jl-jeep-wrangler-door-hinge-16-rust-proof-stainless-steel-bolts-set but as you can see, it’s a much smaller fastener than the OEM:

Anyone have another place to look? I could just strip the paint off of the existing bolts and paint them black, but would prefer to just get a drop in replacement. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been using that style bolt, but 10.9 grade for a couple of years, no issues. I think I got them from the bolt depot or usabolts.com. They can take more torque than the 18-8 from jeep bolts.

Why not just use touch up paint. The torx messes up the OEM paint anyway.

Black plastidip. Clean, mask, spray. Easily comes off too. You should also change out the door hinge bracket to complete the look.

Thanks ya’ll - plastidip and touch-up paint would both work, and I do have the body mounted hinges in black as well, so should look great once I get it together.

Was kinda hoping someone would have a magic link to black replacements of the same size, but sounds like elbow grease is the way.

I used a 2k black epoxy paint, made up 2 sets, in case of wear from weather.
