dying seatbelts?

so, i've been looking for black seatbelts for my crewcab for a very long time. pretty sure they don't exist.
I am thinking of dying them black with the SEM black from summit. anyone else done this and had success? tired of the blue.

the only ones I've seen at lmc looked like lap belts. maybe I should call them. did they ever offer a crewcab with black interior? i've never seen one.

Re: dying seatbelts?

you can have new webbing installed and just paint the plastics black.
