Decorative bolt caps?

Happy New Year everybody!
What do you people do to cover an exposed hex nut and bolt end? I'm hoping for something that would perhaps glue or snap over the nut as opposed to threading on to the bolt end. Is there a supplier for this sort of thing. Thanks

Try a decorative wroate iron store.You may have to remake it in to what your trying to find.We could
make it for you if I knew what kind of look your going for.Also is it interior or exterior?

Somewhere, in my past, I have seen some sort of plastic cover which would slip over a bolt head and also over the washer. All things considered, they didn't improve the looks, but merely covered the zinc plated lags and washers.

Depending on how thick your material is, you could always countersink a hole in the panel, then cover the hole with a round piece of enamel receptive vinyl, and paint it with matching background color.

Good luck,

... Perhaps you could use ACORN NUTS.
