Did you buy it new? Any chance, for some reason, it is a non vortech part?

If it is new and you want a black one, I'd contact the vendor or Vortech directly to see about exchanging it.

Vortech high traction pulleys are not black, they are a natural finish look. Standard ones are black.

I just bought a Vortech high traction last week right from Vortech and it is gray, like natural finish.
