If you go to a fabric store or Walmart they have some stuff in a tube that has a ball point tip. what you do is squeeze the tube and color in the faded part, it is thick so it won't run.

I did it on a baja and it looked good. THe ball point helps keep the lines nice and neat.

Also it wont run when it gets wet, just let it dry for 24hrs.

Just go pick up a few colors and try it on a old shirt or something let it dry good and wash it put it in the sun and see what you think.

I would be concerned that the dye would keep "seeping outward" after a few months in the heat. Has anyone used a specific product, on white interior, and can verify its long term success?
