PlaymoDB gives the part number 30 21 8002 for chainmail hairpiece in black. It's found on four klickies in three sets: 4865 (Lion Knights Castle), 4866 (Falcon Knights Castle) and 4869 (Lion Knight's Battering Ram). All three are still on sale so its a safe bet the hairpieces will be available from DS. (It may also be on more recently issued klickies which aren't yet listed on PlaymoDB).

I have the castles 4865 and 4866, and I got the chainmailparts that fit on the klickies' heads in these sets in common anthracite (darkmetal /charcoal) colour (like existing armour and weapons, as Tahra explained), so not in black like other klickies' hairpieces or beards...


Though there are black weapons in some of these Falconknight-sets; I have some black swords (so not darkmetal/anthracite bur definetely black). So I won't exclude these sets might come with black chainmail-hair, but in my own case I got the darkmetal chainmail.

I've got both the charcoal colored chainmail.  I think I have a figure with the chainmail piece that is blonde actually, but I've been having trouble remembering which one.  But I think the hair pieces on Cheng's mods are what I'm looking for... whatever those are.   :hmm:

depending on what you want it to represent (real hair?) like some of our PM knght armour, (both Graham & Hadoque are right) there are gun-metal (I follow Tamiya colour charts) versions, with their own part numbers (breast plates, halberds etc), although I dont have these chainmail hair pieces, I think those I saw in photos must be these 'charcoal' versions.
mine are supposed to be black/black lacquer so I sprayed using Tamiya gloss black.

I'm trying to make a klickie that resembles this image.  The chainmail, I think, has a good texture for it, but it should be black.

Yes you are right, Hadoque, the part I referred to is not actually black as the photo below (borrowed from PlaymoDB- sorry Heather!) shows. The difference between the beard (black) and the chainmail head cover (anthracite/charcoal/dark metal) is clear in this picture.
