I'm sure you could do the same thing with black vinyl if you need an original look. Maggot You can lead a gift horse to water, but you can't look in his mouth.

It does flake away over time, making it difficult to match the texture. I've painted them before using Vinyl paint in a spray can. It is a low risk area unlike the door or kick panels that get bumped and scratched often.
