Reviews of colored aluminum rivets
When reviewing colored aluminum rivets we must start at the manufacturing level as they are the originators of the product. There remains a few US manufacturers who have the ability of painting colored aluminum rivets. There are also the off shore, often China based manufacturers, however, be advised they do not manufacturer to the same dimensional or safety standards. That subject is deserving of it’s own research so we’ll stick to the US manufacturers who can provided colored aluminum rivets. First let’s talk about the correct manufacturing process for painting or coloring blind rivets. The rivet body must be painted, colored BEFORE it’s assembled with it’s mandrel. The reason is simple, if any excess paint or color overspray is on the mandrel, when the rivet tool’s gripping jaws will clog up with paint flakes and stop functioning until cleaned. The result is unnecessary tool repair maintenance because of improperly painted, colored rivets.

When considering other rivet suppliers, importers or manufacturers, will publish the need for accurate application hole sizes. Some even write articles for industry magazines with elaborate descriptions of why rivets fail. They go to great lengths attempting to dismiss their inferior, old technology rivets by casting blame on you, the end user. They do this because their rivets most likely are faulty an will not work right if they are put into applications where the hole size is the thickness of a human hair too big. Yes, the blueprint specifications do spell out accurate hole sizes with little if any tolerance. In fact, for a conventional 3/16″ pop type rivet the application hole size specification is 0.192 to 0.196 inches. That’s a total of 0.004 thousands of an inch which is about the size of a single human hair. Imagine buying rivets from someone other than aDP Rivet and you ask them why their rivets pull through and leave you with a sharp nail sticking out. Then they tell you your application hole size must be a little too big, over-sized, and they won’t refund your money. Now tell me how many of you have drilled a hole perfectly, without any wandering of the while you’re drilling the hole. I’d say very few humans drill perfect holes and more often the result is a slightly oval or over-sized hole. You’ll have none of these problems when using aDP Rivet five star performance rivets.
