As a kid, I used to pour clear epoxy resin into silicone molds to make
completely useless paperweights that probably now sit in a landfill somewhere,
still encasing the watch parts, insect or what have you that I condemned to
plastic immortality.
These resins did not have to be clear. Translucent and opaque dyes were and
are available:

Take a trip to a decent art/craft store and get resin, hardener and dye and
experiment to ensure you can get the finish and colour that you need. While
not glass-hard, it's pretty durable stuff.
Black should be an easy colour to match.
