Well I'll tell ya what I know if that helps.  Krylon isn't a bad paint just make sure you do a good job with the primer.  Primer can cover up mistakes/defects on the case.  But it's hard to cover up mistakes on the primer with the final coat of paint.  Use several thin coats instead of 1 thick coat.  And don't sniff the fumes.  ;)

I don't remember what kind of paint we were using. We have a paint gun now. We will be buying paint by the gallon from now on.

Good question, but yet another that I do not have an answer for. I would try carviing the letter in to the key before painting it but I have never painted a keboard so i don't really know.

Do something original. Carve it into the keys and the have light shining through from behind it
