Default Dying White Rubber Side door molding Black

As the title says. My 2007 silverado is white with white rubber door side molding. No matter how clean I try, it will never look as white as the paint.
But the vehicle has black bumpers, tires of course, and dark tinted windows. I'd like to make the white rubber door side molding black. I think it would really match the rest of the vehicle much better.
I'd rather not remove the rubber side molding because of the adhesive/glue/cement or whatever. Does anyone know of a decent what to make the White rubber side molding black? Flat black would be nice being all the other black on the vehicle is flat.

Thanks
Mike

You can paint the moldings. There are a few paints available. Check Google.

I've read where painting rubber wasn't the best idea because the paint will eventually crack and peel. Is there a way to dye the rubber instead? Or some other solution?
Thanks
Mike
