Back in the earlier days of rc cars and racing the parts used to be molded in white nylon, owners would dye their parts all manner of different colors. The dying process had 2 effects, the primary was the color change ehich is what they were going for, the secondary and probably more beneficial is it made the nylon parts less brittle and prone to fracture in a crash, allowing the car to stay in the race.

Now this can work for you as Rit dye then can be adsorbed into the surface of the part(s). When submerged into hot water with a dye it and then when the water leaves the part the dye stays behind. *http://www.bmx-forum.com/t/183272/how-to-dye-your-plastic-parts-with-pics*<http://www.bmx-forum.com/t/183272/how-to-dye-your-plastic-parts-with-pics> Or search the topic “how to dye nylon parts”.
