    It comes in a spray paint can.. Its not a "dye" in the traditional sense of the word, its a spray. And I got the same stuff he did. Duplicolor vinyl and fabric "thingy-ma-jig"

    Works like a charm. 2 or 3 coats and ya got a nice even finish.

    It will say Vinyl Dye on the tin and costs about £9.99 from Halfords

    Meblin

    PS I've never used it but Halfords own brand spray paint is a pile of dunger.

    It says Halfords Flexible vinyl paint on the tin and In my view it works great. I would also like to say that this stuff has very little odour to it at all, and it is quite bearable. Whilst the stuff Linear uses requires you to wear a mask :hehe:

    It will work fine on your mouse and your console.

    Heres a pic of My Playstion pad I used it on, it took about 6 coats to get a very nice finish.

    oh, well if my console & mose work alright im planning on doing the front of my video recorder, nokia terrestrail digital box & pace anologue satelite decoder (you would be surprised what channels you get for notting on anologue sat, im 2 months ahead of the rest of the uk with the osbournes :D i get german mtv & it is transmitted in english 2 months ahead of the run in the uk)

    also toying with the idea of doing my sony cmd-j70 in a nice blue colour (the silver around the screen & buttons i will leave but i think the whole case as shiny blue would look good)
