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.

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?
