Editing Keyboard modding (section)

== Painting ==
Painting is only limited by the your imagination and skill. The required tools are listed above, under 'Supplies'. The recommended process depends on what kind of painting you intend to do. There will be two descriptions of the processes to go through, for both detail painting, and cover painting.

If you want to completely repaint your keyboard, completely tear it apart, and save the PCB and attached switches, set them off to the side. Take the body panels, and sand them with the fine sandpaper, until they're fairly rough. Put down a base coat of white, grey, or black, depending on how you want the color to pop, with a small sponge brush. If you want the color to be a little brighter than normal, put down the white, and if you'd like it to be normally colored, lay down the grey. If you'd like a more matte and subdued color, put the black primer down. After you've coated as much of the sanded frame as possible, apply paint using the small sponge brush. Depending on how shiny you want it, do more than one coat. If you prefer the paint color to be matted, leave it with only one coat. Hang up/set down the painted frame to dry. 

When you're only looking to detail some parts of your keyboard, sand the existing colour off of where you want to paint, and then take your paint on the small hair brush, and paint it on. It's recommended that you go over that design with lacquer, as well, if you'd like to make sure that the design can't be damaged. However, keep in mind that this will add some shine to the finish, and it may not match the rest of your build.
