I have never seen black ones anywhere and I have no clue as to them being available or not.

I did remove my initial comments about using Krylon gloss black for plastic if you did not like the yellow color. I used it myself on one set, but I was not impressed by its adherence to the plastic. After letting the gloss black paint dry for a couple of hours, it peeled right off when I screwed down the round plastic ring to the other part. The Krylon stuff is supposedly made to adhere to plastic, but I had no luck with it doing very well on these parts. There may be a better quality plastic paint, but it is not such an issue to me to leave the part as is. I have seen much, much worse things sticking out of a Model A bumper in the past. :-)
