You could always try to detach the metal face and get a gun blue kit. Hey, it works for rifle barrels. ;-)

Looking at pictures of my equipment rack, the Outlaw stuff isn't as deep black as my Yamaha CD changer, but it definitely isn't blue either. I don't know why some of the pictures on Outlaw's site look blue, although I'm pretty sure the one on the main page right now looks that way because it's been Photoshopped to look "smoky" and slightly faded.
