If you can find one, a shoe repair service would be a good start.
Do you mean you want to literally change the color of your zipper like with paint or ink? This is a response from an online Q and A on the subject: 'Why don't you just purchase a plain white or silver one and spray paint it? Make sure the zipper is apart so that it will not get painted shut. Also, make sure to use a spray paint that is able to be used on a metal surface. Be sure to allow the paint to dry thoroughly and you may also want to apply a clear coat protectant on it as well. " I sew and spray paint everything!"

Try Marker Pens "Sharpie" ?
Thought of that, but wondered if it would affect zipper, maybe try on another zipper first.
Use the sharpie, I have and it doesn't affect the function . You will have to keep touching up the dark color though .
Have you tried painting over the silver parts with black nail polish?
A wise move!
I have done this with zippers on leather purses, and jackets, and the nail polish lasts a surprisingly long time (without chipping off) considering the price for a whole bottle. Use new polish that is not gunky, apply in thin coats (if more than one is required) not thick, and make sure that the polish has thoroughly dried before touching it, or doing the back side of the zipper pull.
How inspiring! I have this black leather jacket that I don't wear anymore because of the zippers color. I was thinking of bringing it to a shoe repair place to have the zippers changed. But now, having watched your video, I'm thinking of changing the color of the zippers to black with the Essie Licorice nail polish. I'm debating between purchasing 1 or 2 bottles of nail polish. Anyways, wish me luck! 😬
Did it turn out??? I want to do the same thing but make the zippers gold on my boots
