Vinyl Dye or Plasti Dip for sleeving PSU Cable Wires

[HTTPRO]

Thinking of doing a cheaper way to "sleeve" my PSU cables, and since I already I have these two cans, I wanna know if its feasible or possible? Reason doing this is because I'm not pleased with the random colour in my build, basically just coming back to finish some aesthetics on my build.

Or use cable extensions eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=ATX%20Power%20Supply%20Extension%20Cable&Submit=ENE

I've seen some interesting plasti dip use in computers. Cases, motherboards, graphics card pcb... I've only seen it used on the ends of cables, like usb or sata, for extra grip or something. The difficulty might be uniformity in thickness for every single cable and the full length. Once you draw attention to them by sleeving or altering in any way, then they kind of have to be perfect, ya know? Try it out and see what happens. Can't imagine you not having some sort of spare cable around, whether its power, sata, or even some old monitor cable maybe, to test it out.

Those would be the opposite of "cheaper way to sleeve my psu cables"

Heat shrink?

You'd have to disconnect the individual cables from the connector, but if your'e patient and remember where to plug them back in, it would work well.

Yeah its just a big leap. With no idea what case he has, could be impossible. For the record, I like the idea better. The bitfenix ones look nice. I wouldn't personally wanna mess around with some paint cans spraying those little wires. Seems especially tricky when you get around the connectors, unless you take those off. THen you've gone full tedious mode.

Thats not really a cheap option...I already have the two cans.

Well my PSU has "sleevings" on them its just see through, they are all bunched up together. Can't I just spray on top of it? Would that cause anyting? Also what about ductape or vinyl tape to bunch them? I just dont want to pay and wait 3-7 days on extension cables when there is other homemade solutions - ya know?

Well my cables arent like stuck together, they are bunched by a see through "sleeving" maybe I can just duct tape the ends and paint all of them at the same time? Seems alot of work to paint one by one.
