You don't have to paint black ones, they sell argent on their site, I bought a set for mine.

Good to know AEV now has all three colors. When I did mine 3 years ago the silver were the only option.

Here's mine.... I got tired of the yellow stickers falling off so after 2 sets of those I just painted the black molded caps I got from Quadratec a few years ago (before AEV offer argent caps) to match the Argent Pintlers. The paint is Dupli-Color Granite and some clear coat on top.
