Dyeing a 1967 GT500 Motorcraft paper air cleaner element

[detailguy]

All;
Has anyone dyed a Motorcraft paper air cleaner element the manila color to match a  1967 GT500?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Can't afford the $1200.00 for a real one.
Thanks in advance to all who respond.

I think there were suggestions in the past to use a tea solution to soak/stain the filer element... Bob G did you suggest that???
