Hey everyone I found some cheap Coloured Screws Online. We used to use Signgears however these are the exact same but cheaper and also work with masonary plugs (not sure if Signgears did). They offer different size packs 25s 50s 100s, they also offer a Starter Pack which I purchased first which was 20 of each colour and a Magnetic Screw Sleeve which helps hold the screw when they go in. They are Self Drilling, Self Tapping, Rust Proof and I believe they have 13 different colours which are RAL coded.

If you're interested, I found these on www.colouredscrews.co.uk. They've got a decent selection, and the prices seem reasonable to me. Of course, you can always hunt around for other options too, but I thought I'd give everyone a heads up on these. :)

Welcome to the forum, Barker.
Actually, we would prefer you become an active, contributing member before posting advertisements. Also, are you only assuming that we don't already know of these products ?
I am a retired sign maker. I have never bought colored screws. They are usually "painted" by hand if they are to match the sign's face.

Couldn't you just soak a little of the paint into a piece of sponge, or even soft towels, then dip the ends of the screws into it, then let them dry? I wound up doing this on a couple of project. Worked fine. Just drilled a bunch of holes in a piece of scrap 2x4 to hold them while they dry. Or use nail polish, which dries very fast and smooth and glossy. Nail polish comes in a huge variety of colors. Beside that, you can find the star drive screws that are less likely to slip than Phillips.
