Anyone know where to get the 1/2" stainless hangers in the "gray" color? The Fixe website does not seem to offer them. Do they exist?

CampSaver.com often has Fixe hardware. Here's the dark gray SS hanger and the specs show they fit up to 1/2" rawl bolts

$5.75 is a rip-off. Just judging from the picture, the holes look smaller than the ones for 1/2". They probably mean they fit if you take the bolt apart and fit the hanger between the sleeve, not really recommended. Personally, I would just get the regular 1/2" SS ones and throw some primer on them and let it dry well before you take them to the crag. fixehardware.com/shop/hange…

+1 I do this all the time unless I find a screaming deal on the pre-coated hangers. Be sure to use primer paint (as suggested) as it sticks much, much better than non-primer paint. And definitely paint the hangers before placing them.

So to be clear, you guys are saying...paint the hangers with primer, then paint the final color. Correct?

I just use a coat or two of the primer paint and don't bother with a finish. The gray or red/brown primer works great and lasts pretty well on the hangers. I've tried non-primer paint once and the stuff just flaked off even before I got the hangers out of the bag and on the rock.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
