MS NKP Face Lift - Shell
« on: Mon, 23 September 2013, 16:23:17 »
Hi everyone I'm absolutely new at keyboard modding, designing etc but not new to modding random things.

In the middle of working on a new PC mod I decided it was time to give up on my old MS NKP and retire the tired beast.

 With that I knew already I was going to settle for no less then a mechanical. So while researching on what i want in a mech board I figured I give that NKP a face lift.

Shell is a nice mirror black enamel with 3 coats of clear. The keys are up next which will be dyed in blue and black. Also in the end Ill give it some EL wire for back light as a finishing touch.

It should turn out to be a nice spair....

First I ofcourse did a prep sanding and forgot to take pic.

I chose Krylon indoor outdoor enamel (gloss black) gave it 3 coats and sanded bettween using 1500 and 2000 wet sand paper.
Same for the Clear coat and used 2000 wet sandpaper then tried out something new to me. Trizak 3000 grit sand paper.

This stuff was awesome.

Check out the finish on that sucker. No polishing yet involved.
