They make dye for RC car parts but they are intended for plastics like Tuffs. I have never heard of a dye that will work on a soft rubber type material like grips.
I'd just keep looking if I were you. I have a used set in red

Yellow grips do not dye well. Ask Stu (84profile). Mutant Army green is a very apt description.
