where can you get black rivets? I was considering some for my overfenders.

A good hardware store should have them. Otherwise you might need to order them from a fastener supply place.

thanks!

is it any specific type of rivet aside from the color?

My buddy got them from the body shop that did his install and paint work. I think they're just black, and also they don't look like philips screws, I believe they have hex heads.

You seem to be confused about what rivets are. They don't screw in to anything, so the don't have phillips heads, slotted heads, torx heads, or anything like that.

There are many different kinds of fasteners, but only rivets are actually rivets. They hold by deforming the metal of the rivet (either by using a rivet gun and bucking bar to cold-deform the metal of the rivet or by using a "blind rivet" like a pop rivet).
