replacement lock cylinders? (door and hatch)

getting ready to paint my car, and when I do I would like to have black locking cylinders instead of silver.

Are these available somewhere aftermarket? I guess I could paint mine, but after a few jabs with a key opening the door you can imagine how they would look

I believe Hawk's has the whole set (truck, rear storage compartment and both doors) for around 100 bucks.

Re: replacement lock cylinders? (door and hatch)

i do see the hawks set for $50 (for 86-92 camaros) but it doesn't include the rear storage, not that that is that important to me anyway. The rear hatch lock is not keyed with the others, I would have to have it matched. I guess I could do that, or I could just buy the two door locks and have my hatch cylinder re keyed

Aren't the cylinders all silver with black caps (sorry, been a long time since I replaced)?

EDIT: Curious, I took a peek at Hawks. The following bezels are what I recall:

Simple fix, though removing the lock cylinder from the door was an experience I won't soon forget.

Here's a diagram that might make the swap easier:
