Vintage Black Titanium Watch in need of finishing.......What are Options?

+++++

I have a Vintage Black Titanium Watch whose band broke years ago. Since then, I cannot find another Black Titanium Band to match. Would I be able to take a stainless steel band and "Match" it to the watch itself via Plating it or coating it?

If I cannot match it,would I be able to Plate or Coat the entire Watch Housing and band in a flat black color.... that will not wear off when worn?

Thanks in advance for the Help!

Hi, Jay. It doesn't sound practical to me. Lots of black titanium watches have black leather bands. Maybe yours should :-)
