So automotive dye won't ruin the keyboard ever? Do you just dip it in the dye? I'm still kinda confused as to how you did it. Or does it come as a spray can?
What auto parts store did you find the dye at? I had some long ago called Vinyl-life that worked really good on plastics and vinyl, but can't seem to find it anymore. So I ended up using a satin black spray paint. Painting is a pain.Originally posted by: PhasmatisNox

Yeah, I'm a touch typist but I admit that I do get a little messed up from time to time, when I just put my hands down. The little bumps on f and j are lifesavers. I used automotive vinyl dye. It bonds to the plastic chemically- it's not paint. In fact, you can read the information on the back clearly- there's no added thickness or layering like with paint.

That's a poor picture, but you get the idea. It's great stuff for plastic.
