I just took my trim pieces from grey to black and I used the gloss black. It doesn't seem to be too glossy. The carpet I replaced altogether instead of painting it.

Re: What color of paint to use

I'd recommend using SEM interior dyes if you can find them. They will have the correct satin finish. Gloss is going to be way too shiny, flat is going to be too dull. Also, MAKE SURE YOU PREP CORRECTLY. See this thread for more info https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...ic-carpet.html
