Sure, you can get a car painted any way you want as long as you're willing to pay.

So you have two options. The first is to repaint the car. This will make it more difficult to sell in the future and a good paint job is not cheap. It's not $999 at Maaco.
If you want the car in OEM black, just to find a black car in the first place.
Option #2: wrap the car in vynl. But again, to do this properly is also thousands of dollars and the wrap doesn't last forever.

If you were doing some non-OEM color or some crazy $20k show paint job, ok you want something that can't be purchased out of the box. You must go custom. That's fine. But there's no point when black cars already exist which don't need thousands of dollars in paint work. You're nearly writing the car off just by wanting to change the color.
