| They are, I haven't got around to sanding them and polishing them up, its just the head of the bolts which are like that. |

It shoots amazingly I love the Ultralight, Its a 1992 Grand Prix and there the stock pontiac x-lace rims that I painted, then I sanded the lip up so it shined. |

Looks good. I'd say pick up some stainless screws.

I sanded the screws down to see how a stainless set would look, and I'd have to say it looks nice, I need some other upgrades as well do you guys have any ideas? I was looking at a RT but I heard getting on a field with one is pretty hard and I do frequent local fields quite often. I've also been thinking about a Bob Long Torpedo reg and a Low pressure kit and going over to HPA ------------- Tippmann 98c 16" Dye Ultralight Medium Drop Forward 6 Stage Expansion Chamber |

He said it was a grand am, I could tell they were. The wheels on the Trans Am/GTA/Grand National/GNX are closer to the real BBS from a BMW M3 (E30). They are a pain to clean though, but I loved them on my BMW. ------------- Deleted outwar crap |

If you sand them, theyll just rust again. Either buy stainless steel bolts (See my stick in the Maintenance & Repair forum for 98 bolt specs), or spray them with enamel after sanding. Steel rusts, fact of life. Either go stainless, or put in the work to protect them. Or dont, its not like a little rust will kill your gun, people just whine. -------------
