I replaced mine with stainless steel German manufactured bolts.

I do believe that they left the factory painted body color.

I agree with John.  Mine were painted the body color, but I replaced all the bolts and screws with SS bolts and screws and did not paint them. I prefer the look off new SS bolts.
