I can't decide if it will look tacky with the bolts stainless, or if I should paint them like the bed floor..........the bolts that hold the bed to the frame aren't gonna be painted, but the others...........hmmmmmmmmmm................what's your alls opinions?

I think its a matter of personal preference,but I think the polished stainless would look good..........Al
