Black Chrome Hardware?

I love the look of the Showmaster FMT HH Tele's hardware in what appears to be called "black chrome." It's not quite black and it's not quite chrome, but somewhere in between. I'm in the process of building my own Tele and would like to use this color hardware for it, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know of any resources for this kind of thing?

This is a picture of what I'm talking about:

Stew Mac has new tuners from Gotah that are in this color. I think it's the 501 line.

You're right, they have those new (but ugly) tuners in that color. Even so, nothing else (bridge plate, knobs) would match. I appreciate the suggestion, though. Anyone else? I was thinking about ordering replacement parts from Fender. How do I do that?

I believe Fender calls it "smoked chrome". Not sure where you would find it though.
