im pretty sure you can remove the orange by scraping it off gently with a blade then you can colour to whatever you like

Take the cluster apart, very gently sandpaper the needles off, e paint them into your desired colour, stick them back on an put said cluster back together.
Someone should make a doco out of this. |

Try acetone-free nail polish remover if you can find it. Plastics tend not to like acetone much.
