Default lay down plates

Anyone know where I can look for flat black lay down plates for my BOB. I never see anything but chrome. Can the chrome be powder coated? Thanks.

Yes you can powdercoat it. I haven't seen a black one either.

Haven't seen any black ones either and I just got done looking at lots of them. Went with the Drag Specialties curved one. Looks like you'll have to find one you like and powdercoat it.
