Default Dyeing seat logos: Sparco, Bride, Recaro, etc.

I would like to dye or colorchange somehow my Sparco Torrino seat logo black, in order to hide the letters. The result would be a black on black seat/ lettering. Has anyone done this?

I ask because this would draw less attention to my daily driver, the "Sparco" lettering is visible for 20+ feet. Is there a "clean" way to do this without getting excess dye on the seat itself?

Deginately not. Well not a regular Marks-Alot marker anyway. That will just turn a greenish brown (magic markers won't take well to fabric). This may sound crazy but spray paint will be your best bet. Obviously you'll have to do a really good masking job. Good luck.

I believe they also make a fabric marker. Sharpie has a laundry marker for labeling clothes

I went to Office Depot looking for this marker, but had no luck. Where can I find one?

Yeah, I could. Looks too time consuming though.
