[IC]Custom Polish Painting Keycap
« on: Mon, 05 November 2012, 18:39:11 »
Just making an interest check, had a few interested PMs after posting what my missus did to my keycaps. Wasn't sure if we wanted to do it at all for profit, but making some extra monays wouldn't hurt. So, I'm checking if there would be people interested in this forum to buy, if it's good, we could do custom painting in the future. :) So the thing is, are you guys interested? How much would you guys pay for them?

These are the first few that she made. They will have a lot of coating for solid quality.

Hmm.. I'm kinda looking at what people will offer right now, and then put a sale in Classified. There will be 15-20 made. :)

Thank you! Hopefully this would be good to go and we would open a shop in Classified. :)

$10-$20 seems like a fair price but you can always charge more :-(

It actually looks better IRL, and like Sifo said, NIQMODS says otherwise.  :cool:

How about placing a spider or something other like that on the cap? Sounds fun.

Yes, these do remind me of fancy nails I see on girls everywhere...great idea! I'd pay no more than $10 for each, if I like the design.
