The fact that a couple of millimetres of thread are visible is fine ,it's almost inevitable.

Spray them black
Or
Obtain a rubber O ring about the size and fit it onto the threads before you do the nut up
Or
Use a bench grinder to reduce the length of the threads by at most a millimetre less than the length of threads on show. eg if 5 mm threads on show with the nut tight, remove at most 4mm.
The latter is tricky because you'll need to do a good job of keeping the end square
