Epoxy appliance paint and car touch up paint has worked for me.
$17 is a good deal. I think I paid $23 for mine.Buy a tube of Tefgel and use it on the bolts when you replace them. You should also use it on any stainless going into aluminum or carbon, anywhere. It is a good idea to replace any that were stressed in the loosening/removal. While you've got the beams loose, it'd be a good time to seat them with thickened epoxy.
They switched them over to the second one pictured(SMOD,Yeah Right.) My guess is the first one is a 6.0 base and the mast shape is different.
All of this is from experience, unfortunately. No guessing needed.
