The SEMs Paint has the right colors (use their chart to match) and unless you damage the part should stay on with out a problem.
I use the DuPont Plastic Adhesion Promoter and have had no problems.
I use the same paint on metal but use the Metal Etching Primer first.

As far as a “Dye”, I am not sure that would even work. Dyes usually need to be absorbed to adhere but I don’t think plastic will absorb anything, maybe one of the plastic paints ?

Luck on your quest.

I think it's called RIT dye? Something like that. But RC car people use it to dye wheels and other parts.

yes RIT dye is a plastic dye, its very easy to use. put almost boiling water into some sort of container and then mix the dye in and let the item soak for like id say 30min or so. directions are on the box
