Yes there are a lot of videos to learn from...I saw one of an antique dealer dying bicycle peddles red to restore a vintage bike on YouTube...that is where I got the idea from.
I like your crock pot idea too!
Also, no you can't scrape off the color it becomes one with the plastic.
Unless you repainted the cab windows and red trim appointments, redying Gordon a new blue would work great for his body, but he would end up with green window trim and his red pinstriping would come out purple.

One thought for this that springs to mind is when people pick up old models where the colours have faded a bit - the Gordon's for example spring to mind - this may be a way to return them to their former glory...
