Factory ones are black. Some forum members have used the plugs used on sinks to cover the hole for the sprayer. They snap them over the top of the factory black ones. Also, if you want to pay a lot more, Ecklers or Mid America have a kit that runs around $50+.

They are kitchen sink faucet hole covers...
I think the size is 1 1/4 inches . I bought mine at Lowes at about $1.15 each... you need 15.
You might have to trim your existing plugs a bit...
insert them into the cover and bend the tabs over on the cover to clamp it around each plug...

No luck at either place.

I also used polished stainless faucet hole covers. 1-1/2" diameter. "Lowe's" part # 24467 cost $1.17 each. The plastic factory fasteners need a slight trimming and fit inside the back if the stainless plugs. Bend down the tabs and re-install. Projet costs $18.00 and looks just as good as the $100.00 sets offered by parts suppliers.

Looks great for a fraction of the cost.

I painted the pad and used black chrome on the retainers to make look new. I like the covers. I'm doing that next.
