Tapcon screws are great for block/concrete fastening, but has anyone seen any for finish work? Something not BLUE? Chrome plated, brass, antique brass, black?

    I have never seen it. Countersink it and plug it or glue a decotative insert on top. Or fasten a backing piece to the wall and fasten your finnish piece on top with the desired screw.
