Can you lighten pieces with vinyl dye?

I'm looking to make a custom of Amaterasu from Ōkami, so I looked on bricklink for the part I need (pic below, if my tablet doesn't glitch up), but they don't make it in white, so I'm wondering, does vinyl dye work to lighten pieces?

And do you need to use 2 coats to dye them bright white?

The aformentioned piece.

Just put testors paint on it , or paint you use to make model cars.. It will take a few coats
