Nylon washers are cheap and readily available but are for show use only.  Dropout savers would be required for a rider.   :daumenhoch:

eBay has black or white.  I'm sure M10 is correct size for 10mm axles so here they are...

You can also use 6mm nylon washers on your brakes so the forks/brake bridge doesn't get marked.   :daumenhoch:

surely just a plain flat washer would stop any paint damage, your not supposed to crank them up so it all spins round scratching and crushing the drop outs ?  just do them up gently and firmly, take your time, hold the washer and refrain from using all your weight to crank it up, use a decent torque wrench.
