Apple Extended II meets Rit Dye!
« on: Fri, 01 May 2009, 21:07:54 »
Decided to "dye" some of the keys. I couldn't decide on a single color, so I thumbed through some of my old pictures when I used to work for the telephone company, and used almost the same coloring I had there. The keyboard looks even more retro now!

It's got the Space Cadet aesthetic. I like it. Could you add some detail on your dying process, so others could replicate it?

Ah cool.  That could have been a solution for one of my siig mini touches I had with a yellowing problem.  What dye is it?  Rite dye? You have a link to it?   You could probably use that keyboard with a modern mac with an imate..would be pretty cool.
