Pop down to halfrauds or you local car paint shop and have a look at the plastikote range, they do a heap of products to colour plastic/nylon card trim and parts - you might find something suitable there

I managed to dye a set of white grips to black,i didn't think it would take as they are rubber, boiling water,1/2 pound of salt and 3 ebony black dylon multi purpose dyes, Leave for 3 hrs stiring every now and then.

I was well chuffed.
