I did the deep cleaning a few times on the printer and the colours are still spotty, so I decided to take it out and clean it.

I saw a few YTs and then took it apart. Not too difficult, so I ran some rubbing alcohol through each colour. Still not much improvement.

Is the colour function just toast or did I just not let enough ink through it ?

You probably have air in the tubes, connect a tube to the damper and pull ink via the damper outlet with a syringe and re-insert the damper(s) into the carriage.
