parts a real nice shade of Navy Blue.
I've done the same thing with my Pedro's Milk Levers. Turned out a nice dark blue, not mildly toned in the least. maybe it's because I boiled it and left it in for a few hours. A lot of the white colored plastic/nylon parts of radio controlled cars can be dyed as well. I went so far as to dye some playstation controllers back in the day ('98), and the color rubbed off a little, but they are still the dark blue color to this day.
Just try it. Make sure your wear some black gloves and keep a way from the rain. Dunno how this is going to affect your adhesive, though. I think a YMMV is appropriate here.
