I'm afraid to touch mine with a wrench. They are 6 years old and very rusted. I'm afraid the hex-head will just break off if I twist them with a wrench.

I found spray paint that comes close to matching the bronze. To prevent over-spray, I fold some light weight cardboard into an L-shape and cut out a hole a little larger than the hex-head. The over-spray goes onto the cardboard.
