I've used RIT cloth dye on some plastics like Nylon with great results. I used to dye white structural parts on RC cars black and the dye penetrated really well but you have to boil the dye solution in water then dip the parts in. If the duckie is waterproof along the rubber parts you might be able to dye it up to the metal connector or stud.Tried that but mine has some “cloudy” blotches that might need black dye.
Tried that already. Not working. Comes right off.TIRE SHINE
I tried "Old English" but it rubbed off. Now I'm thinking about something like a "black again" product for cars.Pledge furniture polish covers many sins. Apply to a soft cloth and then rub the affected item to an almost like new appearance.
Wow! How about armorall? That's a great product to make radios look new again never tried antennas though.Tried that already. Not working. Comes right off.
Tried it on a test spot. That might work. It’s close to black but seems to be a little on the purple side when applied. Might just be my marker.Wow! How about armorall? That's a great product to make radios look new again never tried antennas though.

Black permanent marker?
I was thinking about the liquid that is used on the edge of shoe soles. Something like a dye. Maybe I will ask my shoe repair guy what he uses on rubber soles.I use a little Lincoln Stain Wax shoe polish (which I also highly recommend for boots, should your job require them). It covers most light scuffs pretty well and masks the deeper ones OK too.
I also have tried some of the interior dressing products I have for my car but they just made the antenna shiny and didn't help much with the scuffs.
