White spray paint for plastic and white PBT caps. Oh, and a kitten, because she is adorable.

Wow, you got some skills turning a keyboard into a cat with just a spray can.

Chase5delta · « **Reply #5 on:** Mon, 01 April 2013, 23:03:45 »

You can get cat-spray at basically any retail store if you are interested. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics by the way, its all ive got

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.

I just assumed he got blank white PBT key caps. He just painted the case?

white PBT caps.

He can still sell the Yellow Keys.

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.

Chase5delta · « **Reply #12 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

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 02 April 2013, 08:14:31 »

Filco is selling kitties now??

She's so cute!

Chase5delta · « **Reply #14 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.

zoolzoo · « **Reply #16 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.

Nice looking keyboard. And I saw this bumper sticker last week. Loved it so much I had to take a picture of it.

Chase5delta · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 06 April 2013, 00:28:46 »

I have no plans of painting it black anytime soon, I like it the way it is.

Old thread, but ...

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