Does anyone make red bolts with a matching wheel lock

I was wondering if anyone knows of a manufacturer that makes colored bolts with a matching colored lock?

I know the locks don't really do much, but maybe it'll get someone to move onto the next car. I know someone who went to his car and found it on 4 milk crates... that were slowly getting crushed.

Good luck on that. Typically only bolts with aluminum heads are available in colors since they can be anodized. Those are pretty crappy. It is impossible to even find nice locking bolts in extended lengths in black. So again in red - good luck. It would look cheesy anyway but to each their own on looks...

why not get a set of the plastic chrome caps and paint them?
that way it would work on any bolt size or type?
and this auction has them available in red too
