I'm not really sure, but I heard Stull quit making them. Try the sponsors to the right>>>>>>>>

I know they sell them on ebay since one of the company's decided to use my sig pic without permission.

Stull doesn't make them in black anymore. They used to just have batches of their powdercoated. Since, Afterthoughts ----> has started having them powdercoated, or you could, as already mentioned, just buy a regular (polished/brushed) one and get it coated locally.

No one else finds this statement odd? I think he wants a billet of black aluminum... Anodyzed?

If you want powder coated, like the others said get it from afterthoughts OR you can get a brushed one from summit $85 and have it powder coated.

I thought it looked familiar. I was watching a grill on eBay, and I saw your pic. Nice.

I asked in my first response why no one else seems to think this request odd...

I think the problem here is you are asking for something that doesn't exist. Aluminum is silver... It has to be coated in some manner to make it black, powder coat, paint, anodizing, something. The only solid black grill would need to be made out of plastic.

I just bought a billet grill off ebay and had it powdercoated black by a local shop. Ended up paying about $70 total with shipping.
