Use a two-can epoxy. Something like JB Weld will work nicely since the
dark color is very close to the green Newton. I've used JB Weld on a green
HP48G(+++) calculator and the JB Weld doesn't look too bad.

Do NOT use something like crazy glue/CA (cyanoacrylate) as that actually
melts plastic to make a bond. If you mess up when using crazy glue, you're
hosed, with epoxy you can sand it or break it off and even paint it.

Thanks,
Speedy2.
