Lot of good answers. Spacers I would either plate them with zinc/cadmium chromate or Cerakote them. Local plater can do them for you. I do an electroless nickel strike (flash) and then cadmium so everything will last forever. So just say you want these done with a nickel strike and then yellow zinc (cadmium is rare-ish but if they do it, go with that).

You probably have a firearms shop nearby that can also shoot these with Cerakote. I would recommend E-series Blackout. It's very durable and a nice satin black. Big word of caution, both plating and Cerakote, research the shop. I get parts in from customers who had their window frames and other things done in Cerakote and it's an absolute crap job. It seems anyone with a Harbor Freight detail gun thinks they can shoot the stuff. Applies to plating shops too.

Good luck!
