Hi Sean,
I have heard that this is the place to go for old ARP parts.  I don't
know the man's name, but my notes from a  year ago has this:

The Audio Clinic-Weyer/Smith Labs
3461 Canyon Drive
Billings, MT  59102
406.652.1564

I've no idea if this is current--never contacted them.

Colored caps for the slider pots used to be carried by Mouser (they may
still) but only in four colors.  Check the miniature toggle switch
section of their catalog.

Good luck with all this,
Charlie Mann
