Bill I am lucky as I have 2 automotive paint supply places within 5 min.
of my house, one I have dealt with for 25 years, and the hardware store
I buy my stainless steel screws from is right across for him. Been going
there for 30+ years. My AMC friendly non chain auto parts store is 2
miles down the road from them. Been doing business with them for 25
years. The one machine shop in this area I know the owner for 25 years
and the other welding/machine shop I know the owner for 30+ years. So
within 15 min. max from my house I have all these facilities to work
with and my friends shop is also in the area. The upholstery shop is in
the next town 20 min. away. Now if there was only a decent chrome shop I
could get my bumpers done in the area I would be happy as a pig in sh#t.

Since you have a sample you could go to your local auto body supply and
check their catalog and probably buy them cheaper. That is what I did
for new chrome trim screws and the clips that hold the stainless trim
around the front and rear windows.

You can get those strange twist clips from Mr. G's of Fort Worth, TX. Also,
doug Noel at American Parts Depot stocks them:
