Not when you know the shop owner!
My wife used to work for the shop that cut the vinyl. BUT, that said, if your artwork is cut ready, then cutting should not cost that much.
I would think that *if* I had paid for my stuff, it would have likekly cost about $10-$20 (estimated)

Re: Project : BossFX-57
Just a quick update, I took the Saitek keyboard down to Austin for the AustinModder meeting this last weekend!
I got PoMan, the rework master over there, to generously donate his skills to replacing the surface mount LED's in the keyboard. No blue for BOSS... the keys all illuminate white now! Looks super cool!
But before I go and put up pics, I took the board apart one more time, and I am now painting the external frame OSHA orange (same color as BOSS). I'll be leaving hte keys the silver that they are.
After I get the paint completed, I'm going to work on getting the BOSS logo on the keyboard, possibly some striping.... dunno yet. Still experimenting with the layout.

Updates on the keyboard as of last night:
Patient is on the table:
Intestines removed. These are the light bars on the Saitek that have the surface mount LED's on them. This is the part that PoMan rocked like a concert!
Putting the boards back in place (notice around the edge
At home on my workbench:
14 TINY little screws holding the keyboard onto the front plastics:

*BAM!* magically they are apart and I have lightly sanded the plastic to give the primer something to grab onto:
"hellp me... pleeeeease!"
White primer, to help brighten the orange when applied:
First coat of orange:
"BAAAANNZAIIIIIIII!!!!!" Frikken bug... Why the **** can't they get the hint that wet paint is NOT for resting on??!?!?! Look right next to the flash in the middle, and up to the right a bit... see that little booger with wings... lil punk....
*lightly* sanded the bug out and then reshot another orange on the top to even out the paint.
1st clearcoat:
2nd clearcoat:
More later!

Looking good!
I think some kind of Boss logo would look good, and tie it in better.
Re: Project : BossFX-57
Is that a gigantic FarCry mousepad?
If so, that's awesome.

I have some chrome vinyl left over after Lupine, so I *could* use that if I found a good way to impliment it!
