Default Speaker screw question.

Going to mount some speakers in my lowers. I have to get longer screws for the speakers because I am adding spacers. Finding just any screws is not a problem but I want something that does not rust. The screws will be visible. Mount on top of the grills. And are black. Just wounding what other people used. Came with 1". Would like 1.5 to 2.Have checked hardware stores can't really see anything I want to use. Not end of the world but want it to look like I care.

seems like the most logical idea is looking for corrosion resistance.

The stainless and paint think should work. Using Rustolem helps as fish oil in the paint helps with expansion and contraction and cracking and peeling would be at a minimum. I have access to stainless screws and such at work. My grill is flat back. So maybe a grill paint would be best. Thanks for replys
