    Vinyl dye isn't like normal paint, it won't come off on your hands - unlike my keyboard which I sprayed using normal paint.....

    You're going about it the right way, Vinyl dye is the best way to colour a mouse. I just died mine black yesterday and its pretty sweet now.

    GO FOR IT!!!

    he most likely took the mouse appart then used the vinyl dye and did up the parts he took off then when it dried he put it back on.
    not too hard.

    It's a standard intellimouse optical with Halfords black vinyl paint [same as dye, Halfords call it paint] on it.

    Only preparation was washing it in warm soapy water then rinsing it off and drying it thoroughly. Spray it on and voila :).

    Edit: Not quite voila, you have to let it dry ;).

    on my one right here the plastic around the buttons is dark grey, whereas yours looks bright silver???


    in fact its the same colour as the mouse wheel, where on yors ther is a defiante contrast, is it sprayed or just the camera playing silly buggers????

    The 'Hard plastic' one is the original intellimouse Explorer. Whilst the silver ones are the latest version(v.3 i think) of the mouse.
