camaro i looked at had painted fender bolts and hood bolts??!?! What would it mean if they painted the fender bolts and hood bolts with touch up type paint?
I could understand having the hood off and all but the fenders? Car doesnt look like its had any paint work done to it either but i may be wrong?

It would mean it had a nice repair job or someone thought it would be a nice touch to paint there bolts...I say if you cant tell it had any work done other than the bolts I wouldnt sweat it...

yea i checked the carfax and no history of accidents and its got 30k.. carfax checks out..
is the engine bay of a silver camaro not glossy either sort of just gray no clear? looking at the frame rails they look not touched.. the hood looks to have been painted since the clear ran on the underneath of the hood.. would they have painted the fenders too then and removed them?

I would not worry about it as long as there is no hidden damage, if they did replace the fenders they may have scuffed the bolts. Look at the upper rails take a tape and measure from a common point corner to corner, should be square. Look under the car for damage not all damage to a car will show up on car fax, example I own a car and crash it I do not turn it in on my insurance car is paid for, no police report is filed. I bring it home and fix it who knows but me? if the price is right and the repairs look good go for it, take it to a body frame shop and let them check it out.
