Post by: Chase5delta on Mon, 01 April 2013, 22:42:16: White spray paint for plastic and white PBT caps. Oh, and a kitten, because she is adorable.

nice
he didn't ruined it.... he just likes it to be white. OP you should of bought new blank white PBT caps and kept the yellow ones or sold them.... That white paint on the caps wont hold much long.

He can still sell the Yellow Keys.

Post by: Grim Fandango on Tue, 02 April 2013, 02:33:09: I think it looked great both before and after. My personal preference was the look it had before though. That yellow looks the business. Though I guess you would want to change that anyway if you want to go for PBT.

Post by: Chase5delta on Tue, 02 April 2013, 08:08:50: I still have the yellow keys guys, I only painted the case white and got some thick blank white pbts which feel much better in my opinion. If I really wanted to I could paint the case black again and put the yellow keys back on

Title: Re: Before and After of my Filco MJ2 TKL with Blues
Post by: Chase5delta on Tue, 02 April 2013, 09:25:01: About how much are the yellow keycaps worth? I don't think I would want to sell them but maybe a trade

guarantee you can get 30 bucks, maeby even more but will be pushing the envelope.

Post by: zoolzoo on Tue, 02 April 2013, 19:08:40: Looks good. But you should have done this to a QFR instead of a limited Filco.

After a few times white/black painting, your keyboard case will become so tight that the keys willl no longer fit in.

Old thread, but ...

I'd pay $30 for (another) set of yellow Filco keycaps :)
