Default Chrome bolt installation ?

I'm going to be installing chrome pulley and procket bolts this week on my Tim for the 200 tire conversion, is there anything I should do to protect them during installation? And should I use red or blue lock tight? Thanks

I didn't use anything to protect mine when I installed, however, I have seen where folks used a sandwich baggy, plastic wrap or blue painters tape. I don't really think it is necessary because chrome is a pretty hard finish. However, if for nothing else, peace of mind, try one of the items mentioned. Like I said though, I just installed mine and torqued them down with no damage. You'll also want to hit the pulley bolts with some red locker per the SM.
