One trick I have learned is to use plastic washers between
the paint and the sheet metal. They are .030 thick and smaller
than the chrome washers. They dont seem to mushroom the
paint like the steel washers do, and what little is pushed out is
covered by the chrome washer. This, for the most part, prevents
the mushroom paint from squeezing out as you tighten stuff,
which usually hardens over time and then breaks off allowing
rust and chipped paint to ruin the look of your bike.
