Black Shackles?

I'm on the hunt for some black shackles for my new Demello rear tube wrap around bumper. I stopped by a local 4wheelparts but they just had bare metal. I could buy those and paint them I suppose but if someone's selling them alread painted or powdercoated black I'd rather just buy them that way instead of trying to paint them at my apartment..

I checked out some online offroad stores but no one has them listed. Does anyone know of a place that sells them already coated black?

darx,

i tried the painting experiment but it wears off REALLY fast. i even used metal etch and metal primer for a good, solid base for painting.

i think you'll have to accept that you'll be doing alot of rattle can touch ups.

I figured the first use would destroy the paint if I went that route. I just want some nice black shackles. I like the ones posted above but could do without the yellow pin...it's the street queen in me.

The bumper's done and installed. I didn't think black shackles were this hard to find. I guess I could go buy a set and have him take them down on his next powder coat run.
