      I painted my old tan ones black before I got my black interior. I still have them on because the stock black ones were faded. I painted them in July and they're still holding up. I used some old Plasti-Kote vinyl paint I found in my grandpa's garage, but Duplicolor makes a similar product.

        I did it. It's a spray at most auto stores called Vinyl something, made by Duplicolor. Get satin black, it's glossy.
