For Hitch - painting your keyboard
« on: March 15, 2003, 10:07 »
If you fancy a devilishly different look to your keyboard, then HERE is something that shows you how to paint your keyboard

I suggest getting a cheap and nasty keyboard first, or an old junk one to practice on first  ;) It may save you some grief on your expensive cordless keyboard

Plastics can be tricky to paint so for anyone contempating trying this I would suggest making sure that the primer will adhere to the type of plastic being painted.
Also some paints/thinners/solvents etc can have disastrous effects on some plastics so you may find that your keyboard starts to dissolve before your very eyes either instantly or over a few hours  ::)

I thought of you straight away Hitch when I saw it  ;)

There are some good plastics primers available that will prepare the surface well.

Also it would be best to try it on the undersurface of the keyboard first, where you won't see it :)
