Anyone have a source for bulk 1/2" hole Black (Gun Metal) Grommets?
Nobody ever ordered black GROMMETS?

Well, not much volume, I'm doing a few prototype mesh sun shades and wanted to use BLACK grommets, so right now just looking to order one gross (144), #4 with 1/2" hole.
Thanks for looking.
Kanini, Have you used the plastic transparent grommets? How would you say they are durability wise, about the same? I think they are interesting but we just use brass or black at the shop - hard justifying carrying a third type of grommet just for aesthetics.
Maybe once we run out of black we will try the transparent grommets.
We switched to the transparent plastic ones from brass/metal ones in the beginning of this year and have not had any problems yet. The manufacturer claims they hold up as well as the metal ones since their plastic is durable outside and don't get eaten by sunlight/UV. The application of the plastic ones I find more easy for the employees and it gives a better look. From my testing they hold up very well and sits tight to the material.
I would definately recommend you to try them or get in touch with a supplier to send you samples.
I however would definately check that the grommets are UV-resistant and holds up outdoors and not go for any unknown cheap-cheap ones. Our plastic ones are about the same price as the metal ones.

You can get your grommets black oxides locally or you can click the link below. The company below actually makes the grommets. Be sure that this particular grommet will work with which ever press you currently use.

Just call me Chester.
From the lord and hodge website:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Most brass grommets & washers are also available with nickel or black oxide finishes.
Who is a good supplier for the plastic ones in bulk?
We use mostly #1 long.

I just set up an account today, so I'm waiting for approval before I can see pricing. Can you see the price and quantity of the #4 (1/2" hole) black/gunmetal color grommets?
So I just checked our order records, we have used both Wensco and Grimco for the gunmetal color grommets - both good suppliers.

I also use Grimco, however they ONLY have 5/16" and 3/8" grommets, not 1/2"!
