Why not make it? Burnt motor oil and white paint. Mix with Mama's blender. Oh no! Then Mama will be mad and offended, and still no Black paint! Hell, I would just use black gorilla tape instead.
Even the tape is a very dark grey. Electrical tape is the closet I found, and even that tends to turn a very oily dark brown over time. I still think it went down as part of a government conspiracy in the cargo holds of the Titanic.

My Wife has the right idea! Why not use fingernail Polish!! It can be had for a dollar at the Walgreens!!
Good idea, but the durability is rather suspect.
Not to mention the bottles are REALLY tiny...

hmm.. roofing tar cut with high-proof vodka might make an acceptable, MacGyver'd paint in a pinch. Something like gasoline would probably be a better thinner, though.
Dale is like my city cousins when I was a kid in the 50's. My uncle would put his foot over a cow pod in pasture, and dare them to stomp his foot into it. They always lost.
Bought me some new screws as well as some were a bit tired. Home Depot, about 3 bucks and painted them black as they didn't have black. Nor did they have Phillips head.... that did make me sad
