Any way to restore a plastic tank's color?

My red Clark tank on the 185s is starting to fade bad in spots so its actually white in those areas. Is there any way to restore the red color without sealing the tank and repainting it?

I wonder if ritz dye would work I used that stuff alot when i raced rc cars, You might want to try it you would have to submerge the whole tank in it. The longer its in the redder it will be. so you might want to check it every so often till its the color you want, That is if it works, for a few dollars its worth a try! my bet is that it works!

yep try sanding the white spots first to see. Ive seen tanks like that before its like it loses the pigment in the plastic
