I've heard of SEM but I dont want shiney gloss black. I want a natural looking black. I need to do the kick panels and the A pillar trim. What should I use? Thanks!

SEM Landau Black is fine for the parts the OP is doing, as long as he cleans them down with lacquer thinner before he sprays them to remove any trace oils/silicones Mike

The SEM style is a thin paint/dye that sinks into the top layer of the porous materials. I painted a grey set of shelby charger seats and put them in my challenger about three years ago. The vinyl parts are actually still blacker than the cloth parts. The only thing that has really worn back down to grey is the piping on the entry side of the seat that my jean pockets rub against when I get in. And yes, the landau black seems to be between a satin and semi-flat finish. Try to keep the coat just enough to get the color you want. Thicker coats will come out shinier as the paint builds up over the material and smooths out the original textures.
