I took a paper towel and gently pressed the driver into the screw and gently turned until they were snug. But first I blasted them, cleaned with laquer thinner to remove any dirt or oil remnants, primed, then painted. All of that so the paint would adhere strongly. And give them a couple of days for the paint to really dry down and adhere. Just don't get in a rush when installing the screws and I think they'll work fine. But I like the artists brush idea, but I do things differently. I do them the hard way! Lol. Jeff
