I've looked all over for black t-bolt clamps but i can't find them for shit. I want em for my intercooler piping and i've tried paintin em but as anyone can guess that shit don't stick once ya start wrenchin em down. Any help is appreciated

Maybe you could turn them on your piping so that the bolt itself doesn't show, then wrap the smooth part with black electrical tape (dunno)? Just a thought..

lay them all down after a quick soak in mineral spirits and spray them with some high heat krylon or something.

I've hit em with acid 8 and it still didn't do enough to make it stick. The clamp itself turns out decent its the bolt and nut that don't stay for shit. I am pretty suprised theres no anodized clamps anywhere

maybe you shouldnt waste your time on something so petty. No offense, but just do something else to your car

That's just because you don't know any better, lol. Anyone who has a good amount of mechanical experience with turbo cars will tell you you may as well throw those worm clamps in the dumpster. I've had many a worm clamp fuck up my whole day.
