Soft top recolour

Hi all,
Has anyone had any experience of recolouring their soft top?
My grey top is showing black stain marks (looks like soot) that I cannot remove after various attempts using renovo cleaner and good old soap and water.
I was thinking of trying Renovo colour reviver/restorer or another fabric dye that is currently on E-Bay and recolouring it black.
My wife says I will make a pigs ear of it and to leave it alone, but it makes the car scruffy looking and I dont want to shell out on a new top.
Any info would be greatly recieved.
Cheers.

There's been quite a few people who've successfully recoloured the hood to black. :yesnod:

If you want to come over, we can both have a go at it. I've also got some black fabric dye that I used to turn some grey carpets in the Nissan to black. :thumbsup:

I was recenty given a grey roof to replace the leaking black one I had - thanks Maggie ;)

Renovo worked great, wit the added bonus of the interior staying grey, which makes it less claustrophobic.

When you do the roof make sure you cover all your paintwoek - because splashes and runs are inevitable :oops:
