That is going to wear away in less than a month. Even with some heavy duty lacquer it will need re spraying again and again.
I would still like the all white Cherry G80 3000 but its a Japanese exclusive :(

Yeah, I tried it.  I put an extra heavy duty coating on a keyboard.  Like 3 coats. The worst was the spacebar, it definitely didn't hold up.  I wonder how they got it to work with that gold flecked hhk.
