Default Acorn fork nut ???

I'm looking to clean up the right side fork, has anyone ever seen a kit that you can buy that comes with black hardware and maybe an acorn nut or something like it ? Just had my lower legs done in black, also had the washer lock washer and nut done but the powder on the nut looks beat up because of the socket.
Thanks for any help

Only way to get ride of that axle nut is to buy a black flush mount axle. As for as the 2 nuts & washers on the bottom, might want to look into the FBI smooth for cap.

This is a flush axle and fork cap in chrome, no wheel. It does clean up the right side very nicely and the do come in black as well...
