Default Anyone dye'd the under bonnet insulation?

I've read somewhere that somebody has applied black dye to their insulation.
Mine has faded and it'd be good to have it looking black again.
Has anyone on here done this and if so, what dye did you use?
I know that certain clothing dyes don't take to particular materials, and I don't want to take pot luck and end up with a dodgy looking insulation.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Gez

Sounds like a good idea, but I thought maybe it would crack when the material moved. Can you tell me which particular paint you used?
