Can't decide what color rivets to use


Help me choose

  1. 1. What color rivets should I use with my boots?

    • White (for looks)
      3
    • Silver (for accuracy)
      3

All the holes are drilled and ready for final assembly of the holster to the boot.

 

Currently it seems both white and silver are acceptable for Lancers which is my end goal.

 

Through my research I have found that silver rivets were used in the movies.

However I feel that white rivets would look nicer and give less of a hardware-store-assembled look.

 

Unfortunately I can't seem to make up my mind on what to use.

 

Help me fellow scouts... You are my only hope... ;)

Wow, not a single vote?! :o

 

Regardless, I tried looking for medium length 1/8" white rivets, and couldn't find any at my local hardware store. Took it as a sign and decided to go with the silver ones included with my MC kit. :)

Your boots look NICE! Too bad for the pink stripe on the sole though :P

 

Good going with the silver! They're not that hard to paint. I use simple acrylic paint on my belt rivets and it's holding on fine.
