Hi,

I used black silicone to repair mine (black TnR 250 and 2x15).
I applied it and covered it up with adhesive tape over night. The tape is used to get a smooth and level surface.

It looks good, but the adhesive tape made the surface kind of sticky. Probably the combination of the kind of silicone I used and the tape made it that way.
I You ask the store for what kind of silicone would have a smooth sticky-free surface after it's dried (I just took the first kind I saw..) it'll probably make a better result.

Anyways, the repairs looks great.
From more than 1 meter it hardly looks like there has been a damage at all, even tears where fabric was missing turned out good.

Another post i saw said that clear silicone is good for non-black TnR's. If it is a sparkle you can blend in glitter of appropriate size.

Hope this is of any help...

BR,
/Pete
