if you use a quality paint. Don't go for the bargain stuff, you'll be disappointed. Eastwood Company sells stuff that they test first, and will back themselves. www.eastwoodco.com

Dealerships have painted trim parts for years. When I worked for one years ago all trim parts came in either grey or black and the body shop painted to match interior. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a good black paint. Problems come when trying to match other colors. Been trying to find a good paint match for the tan interior in my truck for awhile and haven't come close to a good match yet.

Any good auto paint supplier will have vynol dye. Sprays on like paint and hold well. You can lightly sand the vynol before dyeing. Sems is the brand I use. You can actually dye the seats as well. I did mine about four years ago and they are beginning to need another spray, but I'm putting in an interior out of a Navigator into my crewcab.

Vinyl Paint
There is also a vinyl paint out instead of a dye. I had a hard time matching 1980's colors but found a decent brown, if there is such a thing.
It has held up well, just a touch up every now and then.
I think the dyes are harder to find than the paint.

Easy Fix
You can buy plastic dte for the plastic parts and you can buy leather or vynal dye for the seat. Ive built several show trucks and as long as your seats not ripped you can buy apolstry and vinal dye to change the color. Specialy if your going black since it will cover any other color with one or 2 coats.
