[kmiller8]

[eddie]

very true

You should paint thin layers if you want a good result. Too thick paint means a high likelyhood of the paint cracking, or not drying at all.

I did this for fun,  I am a art student so I get lots of paint to screw around with :-)

Someone needs to start a "Paint dripping cap therapy" thread because I'm getting anxious just seeing the teaser pics in this thread.

[Ghetto Caps]

Well in not goings  to waste any more caps unless someone actually thinks it looks good, but I'm always up for wasting paint

[kmiller8]

I'm not trying to sound flippant, but maybe find a friend with a not-broken camera and just have them send you the picture to post because... well, I think your potato is moldy.

See, my ****s were handed out in thin, meticulous layers. But this guy has all the ****s to throw around.

You Nub, you carefully mold and carve your ****s. ****s are meant to be experimented with.

Well I guess you got what you wanted; there is now paint on your keycap.

Mission Accomplished!

Was the air pressure right for pouring?

[rowdy]

I'm kinda still wondering why the question was asked in the first place.

With spare keycaps and over-supply of paint, why not just do it?

Even over supplies shouldn't be wasted,

Or underutilised?

But around here.... someone would probably but it.

[Binge]

I'd but it.

[noisyturtle]

Looks like you for got to stabilize the paint with a deionizing powder bearing before you poured it. Rookie mistake bub.

[RESPRiT]

I'd but it.

Only of they're limifed ediyion, though.

[Alessandro]

such typo
very descript
wow

[SpAmRaY]

I'd but it.

See....binge understands.....

Would your typing improve if you dumped paint on a keycap?

Depends on what keycap.

It can't get much worse, theoretically.

One very important point is that the keycap should be removed from the keyboard first.

Although dumping paint on the keycap whilst it is still in place on the keyboard would achieve the dual results of altering the colour of both the keycap and the keyboard, the functionality of the keyboard may undergo a slight regression.

I'd like to dump some paint on my Matias board, get rid of the shiny black case.

(Attachment Link) Well in not goings  to waste any more caps unless someone actually thinks it looks good, but I'm always up for wasting paint

I don't think it looks that bad, but it probably feels heinous. Looks wise it could work for a war themed board, kind of like dried blood on bone 

If you could somehow replicate the look while keeping a usable feel to the cap, I would love it.

[Alessandro]

Paint? Oh please.
