you seek noble http://www.therpf.com/member.php?u=4860 . for the band , as far as paint , black ....i had that in my watch list as well but i hate hate hate painting plastic , if you have an airbrush i would recommend a product called duracoat its made for painting firearms , all surfaces , so you know it will stand up to any abuse it can come in contact with ,while on your wrist , as far as screen accurate the buttons are already black , so its just a matter of masking off the screen and pulse buttons .. on a side note i just picked up one from oversees , it cost me a little more but its already black .. nice score :thumbsup

I had some 22mm OD webbing made.

Straps are just Webbing with 3/4 inch OD velcro.

I painted mine using spray on vinyl dye from a can from an auto parts store. I took the entire thing apart and sprayed each part individually. For the metal back plate, you may either not paint it at all or use a regular black spraypaint.
