Yes bud ,this is my last option but would be nice to get original black ones.

They are very rare and no doubt expensive as a result. The clips tend to break on them too, so finding a good one will be hard. I primed my grey ones with plastic primer and sprayed them black. Job done.

Well ,I’m loosing hope to find original ones in black so will have to take your advice boys and paint mine .I just never been very successful with painting plastic.it always end up with paint coming off easily

Preparation Is key and the right paint

That is it ,I’m sure I was using just wrong paint and rush it

Clean and prep the surface to allow the paint to key. There also may have been silicon-based interior spray used in the past, so that all needs to be cleaned off to have any chance of paint bonding. I used a plastic primer and then light coats of topcoat.

Thank you very much for advice.

Did mine after trying for a few years to find a black one and it came out fine as mentioned finding them with good strong clips is a mare too I also reinforced the little plastic tabs as they always break after a few times of pulling the unit out

Wurth make a two part epoxy/plastic product that's great for fixing the clips back in. It's not glue, so it's a strong as the original plastic once it sets. Not cheap, but certainly up to the job.

Also worth trying plumbers solvent weld. I found it amazingly strong on the door card hooks recently.
