many years ago when I was racing the gold pan RC10, it came with all white plastic parts, arms/bulkhead.shock towers etc etc etc.
so as this used to take more time to clean them rather than to build the whole car, I got a packet of Black Dylon Fabric Colourant from my local hardware store.
I put the dye into an old saucepan ( believe me don't use your mums good pans, SHE WILL GO MENTLE ), added a tablespoon of table salt ( was told too by a fellow racer who told me about this in the first place, so don't ask why salt, I don't know ), then lightly heated the mixture ( no boiling here though ) and dropped the parts needed to be cloured into the saucepan and left them for 20minutes.
after the 20 minutes was over, take the parts out, rinse and dry them and fit to the car.
Haven't done this for many years and never on wheel but the principal should be the same.
