Title: I dyed the Vortext PBT keycaps of my QFR-I blue and violet and wanted to share
Post by: pyrolovesmoney on Wed, 30 December 2015, 22:48:38

Here is a link to the album. This is my first real post to GH, but I though you guys might want to see the results of a few strenuous hours of dyeing and washing.

here is the imgur album http://imgur.com/a/RKF4C I have attached some pictures as well. I answered a few minor questions on reddit and will gladly answer any here.

Thanks for looking at my post.

Whoa those came out super nice! I really like how they look with the LEDs shining through in low light. Your hard work paid off!!  :thumb:

Yeah, the next step will probably be to see if I can use some acrylic paint to pain the inside of the caps to get more glow and see if I can light up the bottom part of the legend like I have on my pok3r bkaclit.

Thanks for the compliment as well.

People are really stepping up the dye game.

I remember tons of trials over the last few years that left caps with all kinds of funky discolorations.

GJ!

Guess I am lucky that I was super patient. It's pretty tedious, thanks!
