Yes, those were all the places I tried looking for it online. I might have to have it shipped from the states.

Haha I haven't tried yet. I can imagine they might be suspicious. I just hate paying duty fees and brokerage fees (effing UPS...  :angry: )

Nah... I mean they may think you are buying parts to set up a bootleg maple syrup still or something, but even worst case scenario I believe the punishment is only a week or two without hockey and bacon.   ;D

Seriously though I'm curious to see how that vinyl dye works... one of you guys has to go for it and give us an update!
Sarver Systems:
This was done invinyl dye.

The black part is done, but the  gray area is still original plastic.

I used to work in a Corvette Restoration shop that sold all Corvette parts.  (NOS, Repops, etc.)  That was in our catalog.  We used to have guys come in with before and after pictures and it was mind blowing.  At times the vinyl dye made it look better than if it had been a NOS part.  Good color saturation too.
Well Fed Games:
Here's my blue stuff after three coats (10 minutes apart) of vinyl dye. So far so good. Also painted a couple plastic desk grommets for the project, and some wico balltop shafts as a test. That stuff, the fumes are brutal. Even with a mask it was tough on the throat.
