Need sheet metal screws

I want to replace the factory 3/4" long, #8, Torx drive, pan head, black oxide sheet metal screws with the same specs but in black oxide stainless steel. Has anyone found a source for these?

There are several companies that offer SS kits but I don't think any are black.

Use black felt pen marker to cover screw heads?

Check McMaster carr. I bought black SS hardware to use on my track spec hood vents.

Did you install yours with black nuts/bolts or black rivets? I considered nuts/bolts, but black rivets were already there so I used those.

The black sheet metal screws I was looking for were the same as the factory used except being stainless steel so they won't rust. I settled on some that use a Phillips drive instead of Torx but they are stainless steel and black oxide coated. Thanks for the replys.
