Try puttin vaseline or any other petroleum jelly. That will keep the paint from stickin. If anyone finds away to get the vaseline to stick to only the character part of the keys very quickly, please post...

i painted my keyboard with that dupli color stuff. but i only sprayed body and space, cursor and enter button. the most important thing when painting a keyboard or plastic stuff is to rough up the surface with sand paper first. then a good amount of color, in thin layers, take your time and last: clear laquer. thin layers but lotsa them. ya can never use enuff clear laquer. the more ya use the nicer your results are

thanks prozak, i thought about that too.  either making a stencil, or just buying some of that peel and stick inkjet paper and making my own stickers.  and smoked1, i thought about your idea too, but the way the keys on my keyboard (here at work anyway) are made, you cant to that.  no light would get through to the top of the keys. well, thanks alot guys!  i'll let y'all know how it goes.

later.

if you're painting it red.... leave the keys white... i had my keybaord red and left the keys white... it looked sweet... two different colors look nice on the keyboard

Or maybe you should take some touch typing classes and then amaze people with your keyboard that has no letters. HA HA HA!!! :D

yeah there something i like about typin..not sure what...but when i get on a keyboard..my fingers do the typing for me...know what i mean...they glide so easily and fast that i can process what i have to say, and as i am saying it, it sounds as if i am speaking normal as i stay with my pace of typing...that is why i like responding to all your posts because it is easy and fun as well

maybe get some shape iron and imprint the letters as reliefs on the keys, then ya could paint it and the imprintings would still be visible
