I really want it black it looks a little dirty at min.
Can anyone recommend a spray or a place who supply and fit black?

Hi, you have 4 options...
1) Retrim it yourself or have a company do it, this way you can choose the material/finish you want.
2) Autobrite black carpet and trim dye: http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/black-dye-carpet-and-trim-stain.html
3) Autoglym black trim dye: http://shop.autoglym.com/rubber-plastics-and-trims/black-dye.html
4) SimplySpray black fabric paint: http://www.fabricspray.co.uk/shop/upholstery-spray-paint/midnight-black
Dying gives mixed results but do it right and it can give 100% factory finish, with the cans though ie Autoglym/SimplySpray it's not cheap as you will need 5-8 cans to get the desired finish

Pictures are always better than words :wink: Was about £60 worth of spray paint, but it is 100% black with an even finish! :cool:
