Dying Production Knives

Has anyone tried dying the handles of production knives before. I saw that someone dyed the handle of a Spyderco with Rite dye and was wondering if anyone has tried this or has comments on the process?
 
I do rehandle work, but I've never tried that.

With Micartas or G-10, I can't see it working.
Nor on Stabilized Wood. The dye would not be able to penetrate the handle material.

Wood that's not stabilized, or treated in any way, like with linseed oil/shellac, should probably take the dye, but I couldn't say how good it would look.
 
I think it was FRN but I can't remember where I saw it though?
