You can always try dying it using some type of solvent dye. Maybe try a plastic paint too.

I wonder if you can boil it and dye it like you would plastic?

you could wrap it in black electrical tape, if you take your time and dont leave wrinkles in the tape, i bet it won't look like ***.

I've wrapped a hideous looking yellow Baker hose in black electrical tape before and it turned out really good. Just have to take your time and stretch the tape tight and pay attention to the spacing of your overlaps.
