Default Bought blue leather seats...want to dye/paint black...any advice?

Picked up all the seats for my LS in blue leather this weekend but they need some filling and they need to be repainted, I want to dye/paint them black.

Any advice or recommendations on products and how to do it? So far I've found SEM products are the best for this type of mod?

Inside-
Window regulator

Rear window shade
speaker grills

engine-
misc covers and shrouds
radiator shroud

exterior
chrome badges

Now on to the process of turning my Tan to Black interior. If its vinyl or leather I always shoot SEM or duplicolor interior paints. I am minimizing the cost again. So spent around $60 in paint to included acetone and misc items i needed to start the "dye"
