Does anyone make black braided lines for oil coolers?

I'm putting on a new oil cooler, and I was toying with the idea of black oil lines.  That being said, I can't seem to find them; would shrink wrapping them be a bad idea?

I think frentubo makes a number of color choices for oil and brake lines.  I got a set of hypermotard oil lines from PJs parts a few years back, but they have now closed.  Motowheels lists some frentubo parts so they may be able to special order anything from the catalog.  Another option would be to use black shrink tube over the existing lines.

Heat shrink will work, but you might wish to consider braided sleeving like one of these:

For anyone else looking for these, I found them at Carpimoto.  Fren Tubo "Type 4" black carbon weave lines, silver crimp collars, black alu fittings.  They shipped only a few days after I made payment - pretty quick for Italians!  The translation wasn't entirely clear, so I'm not certain that I'm going to get what I needed, but I'm hopeful.

Edit: VERY fast shipping from Italy, and arrived exactly as described!
