What do you mean by that? x'D That I sanded it first? :p


Yes, and used alcohol. Most people would just cover it with cheap spay paint. Forgetting all about "oil" and papered the board so the paint to stick.
I think the result will be great!

heh! Thanks :P I had no idea if it even was necessary... I just thought it sounded like a good idea so I don't get patches etc and so that the paint will stick better :3

make sure u get a quality spray paint..if you are painting the keys you don't want the paint to rub off on your finger tips :)

especially check certain places you tend to rest your hand often. those are the problematic areas!

Thanks : > Already thought about that however. It seems Nemi won't however be done in time for Dreamhack (4-day long LAN-party, biggest in the world, starting tomarrow) which is rather disappointing :( Even if I went and bought the spray paint now I'd need at least 24hours to let the final coat dry as well as a hour or two between each of the initial coats :/ Owells </3 I guess Nemi will have to be put on a 5-day hold until I'm back home :wub:

Maybe you should coat it with lacquer to increase its lifetime? :)

Myes! I had originally intended to do so... but then I ran into a small problem x'D I'm a poor kid </3. Lacquer would be an extra $10ish dollars which I don't have atm :x *needs a job*

I thought about this as well x'D The only problem is that it really needs to dry in a well-vented area, untouched and from my prior dreamhack experience it's a rather bumpy ride for your computer when you walk ~200-300meters through the halls to get to your spot lol. I'd rather make sure it's done correctly the first time then ending up having to repaint it <3
