Default Dying your ragtop?

Has anyone ever Dyed their ragtop? I'm not even sure if this is possible. I have an oak ragtop thats in pretty good shape but I want black. I hate to swap out a perfectly good ragtop.

Consider selling the oak top, given its an 04 it's the newer quality top better insulated.

If you change tops, go with the one that has the sealed rear window like the C6 top does.

I'd doubt how successful a dye job would be.
