You could also use any of the woodworking dye powders sold on the wood working sites.
The question is how well any dye will work in Devcon as it is about 90% powdered metal. So it would seem that the predominant color is gray before you start trying to color it.

Accraglass dyes are for polyester, and I'm not sure if they are compatible with epoxy. Being that you are not going to see most of it, I would opt for black Marinetex.

Sharpshooter, you need to read the Brownells link a little more closely.

They refer to acraglass as "epoxy" almost like a generic term, but is is not epoxy. It is in fact polyester. I didn't say it wouldn't work, but I would mix a test batch first.

so it looks like I can use the Brownells stuff? I just read it.
