Anyone happen to know where I can buy 3/16" dia. 3/8" grip range black stainless steel structural (not regular pop rivets). Structural rivets leave the mandrill in making them essentially solid after they're installed. Regular pop rivets of course pull the mandrill out and end up hollow after install. I know I can paint them but often the factory uses powder coat which is way more durable.
Thanks for any help.
 
McMaster-carr has all sorts of rivets

Not sure if you will find them in black, stainless is usually natural finish.
McMaster is the cheapest I have found.
I use stainless 10-32 button head cap screws with loctight. Won’t loosen as easily as a rivit and you can remove them later down the road. Drilling out stainless rivits is a beatch!
 
and they shinny like jewelry
:drink:
