Title: Painting a Leopold Keyboard.
Post by: Rhinofeed on Wed, 20 July 2011, 22:36:59

Hello! I just bought a Leopold today, and it should be coming in the mail within the next week or two. I'm really loving the color grey, and I'd love to paint it. Are there any how to guides out there? What kind of paint would you use that's long lasting with very good durability? Thanks!

There is a large thread on dying keycaps that includes a few mentions of painting keyboard chassis with "Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric Coating":
