Title: I painted some keycaps!
Post by: Rayne on Sun, 14 July 2013, 21:14:41
So i had some extra caps from a WASD sampler kit that i had no use for, and decided to try and paint them with nail polish. I think most of them actually turned out pretty good. I had so much fun doing this project i think i might try and paint a whole set next to see how it turns out. here are pictures of the caps i have done so far.

the only one i really didn't like was the black one. And you can also see some places where i didn't get the paint thick enough, but i can really see them inside, only noticed them once i got outside in the natural sun light. also forgot to mention, the green and blue sparkly ones also glow in the dark :D

so what do you guys think?

I really don't care for any of the brown/copper ones. And there's a few that look to have sequins in it? I'm not a fan of those at all. The neon green ones are nice and the one with neon green and blue/purple is nice

Pretty cool--must have been fun to make them.  Not sure about those colors (it's very subjective), but otherwise pretty nice.

they aren't really sequins, more like confetti i think.
but i agree i didn't like the way they turned out and probably wont use that in the future.
