Could you take the wood trim and paint it black, but have it so the wood shows through so its a DARK black wood trim? Like adding a lot of reducer to the black paint and spraying it so you can see the wood trim through it?

It's a real wood, you can always strip old finish and stain it with whatever color stain you want, you will be still able to see the wood grains.
