Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe

Working on a 49 Higgins for a friend. Anyone have a tip on how I can clean or darken up the oil cloth on this seat? Appreciate it.
 
I just used some regular old satin black oil-base paint that I had laying around. Results were good. Thinned first coat w/mineral spirits so it would soak into the material better. I was advised against using latex because it wouldn't soak in as well. The paint also helps to bind loose material to rest of seat.

Very nice. DO you have any photos?
