Check GOODRIDGE.net We use their hoses and fittings on our racecar, and they make awesome stuff. We use nothing but black fitting on our car, aka just for looks, we don't like the blue and red either. They should have it.
 
No one's going to look under your fuel pump cover and mark points off.

Shush! ;)
I guess I was an idiot to think that if it was available in blue-anodized that it'd also be available in silver or grey or black, so I went hunting. Yes, I'll probably go with the blue, because I already ordered the other parts and don't want to wait on one damned fitting.

But if someone gives me a link to a black/grey/silver one in the next day, I'll still have a chance. I'm one of those OCD types who polishes the inside of a turbine housing...just because. And I also hate the blue/red anodized stuff.
 
You can always sand the outside of the adapter (leave the threads and sealing face alone), and then paint the area black. Or anodize it black.

LOL

I'm not that desperate. I saw that a blue one existed and then looked for a black one. I found 0 alternatives in any color by any vendor, so I tossed it to the Forum for help. If nobody finds it for me (I spent 2 hours searching last night, and I'm done searching), I get the blue one and lose no sleep over it. It was a, "while I'm at it, maybe I can find a black one" sort of thing that evolved into a, "I can't freaking believe *nobody* else carries this part regardless of color".

A friend of mine and I did some anodizing years ago, but I don't know if he still has the chemicals, and I don't think he had the black dye. And as I said, I'm not that desperate.
