Paint?

It's aluminum so you can also have it anodized black (or whatever color).

okay, thanks. not my preferred choice, but what do you mean my "anodized" black?

Anodizing aluminum is a chemical treatment to the surface of the aluminum that protects it as well as can offer a color. http://www.anodizing.org/what_is_anodizing.html You'll see it in colored chainring bolts etc.

If your d?railleur clamp is a peculiar one, you may not have many choices. I've looked through my catalogs (many) and the Colorado Cyclist is the only one that offers up a black clamp for a Campy d?railleur of any kind.

Having a single small piece like your clamp anodized is likely to be expensive, relatively speaking, but if you've got your mind set on not having a silver piece on your bike. You should be able to find an anodizer in the Yellow Pages under that heading. If not there, call a metal plater and they may be able to help you.
