Dye script in Cargo shade
I just purchased a sweet 2009 crystal red metallic Corvette coupe. I ordered the cargo shade with the flag logo and the script "Corvette." My problem is that the script Corvette is in white lettering and I want to make it RED. Does anyone know if a dye pen will do the job (if so, where can I purchase a red dye pen?) and if not, does anyone have any advice on how I can accomplish changing the white script to red?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the replies to my query. I am new here and did not know if anyone would read and respond. I appreciate the advice. Do you think the red Sharpie will fill in consistently? I guess I won't know until I try it.

I would go to Hobby Lobby or Michael's or a place similar, I am sure they will have something that will spot dye fabric. A permanent Magic Marker can be had with tips that are broader than Sharpies.

The red Sharpie will soak the threads to achieve absorption. Do it once, let it dry, and give it a second round. You will be very pleased.
They also come in a couple of differents tips, but you'd be paying extra. Regular one will work just fine!
