WTB Vinyl Die

Hello everybody,
It's been a while since my last message here...
I want to paint my xbox 360 controllers different colours, but I don't want to paint them with something that easily comes off... I read about vinyl dies (http://alcaron.blogspot.com/2006/12/noi ... oller.html) which mix with the original plastic and hardly come off, but I really can't find them where I live (Italy).
I'm therefore willing to pay someone to ship one or more cans of this stuff from the UK or USA. Please let me know how much you'd do it for: the cans should cost a few buck each, the shipping really depends (from the USA through First-Class Mail International Package about 10-15$, from the UK a lot less as far as I know) + the extra that really depends on how much you want to help an Italian guy...

Payments would be made through Paypal, before shipment of course.
Write your price, I'd prefer to paint them on my own but if the prices get high I'll have to buy the original ones ...

Thanks,
Gabriele

That is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
I was looking for flat black, blue and red, in this order of importance.
I was thinking 1, 2 or 3 cans total, depending on the price of the single can and on the shipping costs, assuming you are from the USA... I can send a few dollars now to your paypal account for your interest and time and, if we discover we can actually manage to do this exchange for a decent price on my behalf, I can then send the total amount for expenses + your extra (which would be?).
Thanks,
Gabriele

OK now that I know what you are looking for I will get prices and weights to see if I can get a rough estimate of a total price. as far as the extra I wouldnt ask for much maybe like $5-10 for like gas and stuff if that is too much just let me know just trying to be helpful.

edit: i just notice they have dark blue and slate blue you didnt specify

Update: I called the 4 places that plasti-kotes states sells there products and only one had it in stock. They quoted me a price of $5.25 over the phone before taxes. They close 30 minutes after I get off so I will swing by and see what they have and post another update tomorrow.

I have no idea on what "slate blue" is...

Anyhow, I was looking for an "electric blue" I guess, not really a dark one...
About the extra, 5-10$ was the bare minimum I had in mind, considering the time you'd spend... Now the big question mark is the shipping cost: let's try and see how much I'd end up spending for 1, 2 or 3 can and we'll see.
The extra is gonna be there for you in any case

Thanks again,
Gabriele
