They do make black dye for that purpose. Rev posted some pictures a while back of the door panels she re-dyed. They look great.

Hey Cudadude. We dyed ours a while ago, but we were doing a black on black.  I haven't had any experience with changing the colors.  However, when we did ours, the steps before the actual dye, made the panels look really bad....like  you made a BIG mistake.  But the dye covered it right up completely.  I would imagine that if you go through the same procedure (4 steps) it will turn out great.  Here's our page on how we did it.

Yep..it will.  I did our console also.  Turned out great.  Don't know why that page isn't opening, though.  hmmmm.
