Does'nt sound like a good idea, I would think it might rub off on your clothes.

Depends on the fabric, some man-made fabrics require complex acid based dyes to colour them and some can be done in a bowl with simple water cold dyes, no way of telling without trying it, but I would say it is unlikely to be easy to get a good consistent result. (I used to live with a textile designer) You could always get a set of new seat covers for them though.
