Painted my keyboard - trgc - 09-08-2016 Painted my keyboard today, turned out alright. The gloss black previously picked up fingerprints far too easily. Have any of you done anything similar? RE: Painted my keyboard - venam - 09-08-2016 What exactly did you paint and how did you do it. It would be interesting to know how you achieved it and with what type of paint too. RE: Painted my keyboard - trgc - 09-08-2016 Original look: Painted just the upper frame piece to reduce fingerprints. Larger area in the top right looked strange empty so I slapped a sticker there. Paints: Sanded down with steel wool, painted with primer, painted over with matte finish. RE: Painted my keyboard - Adrift - 09-08-2016 I like the matte finish a lot, I am half tempted to try this. RE: Painted my keyboard - stephant - 04-11-2016 Nice colors, especially like the sticker. RE: Painted my keyboard - mrtn - 09-11-2016 I have the same keyboard. The stupid glossy finish is bothering me basically since day one. When my Ergodox is here and assembled i'll give this a shot.
