Bad-ass board.

I have used charcoal gray Dupli-Color on a couple of Model Fs, and it has held up well for over half a year. I do not abuse it, however, but I still think Dupli-Color is going to prove to be much better than paint.

Same reason you paint your room another color or get a different colored slip cover for your couch.  Style, decor, personality.

It seems very durable what you see in the pictures was used for about 4 months then boxed up when I switched to a Majestouch-2 Linear R MX-Red with the group buy keys. I did the same project on my 2nd Model M in my signature but will keep it as a backup.

My son has a rit dyed unicomp. The keycaps will last for a long time. I tested the durability of the case spray on the inside. My nail cannot scratch it of unless I really really try.

Is this what you used to color it?
