No worries, let me try and do some searches on here.

I strongly advise against dyeing unless you absolutely have to. Best way to go about it is sandpaper and elbow grease. It's only the surface that has oxidised.

However If you absolutely must then you want Rit synthetic. Noting the synthetic bit. It's designed to hold to nylon and plastic rather than relying on absorption.
