thats a good keyboard and mouse. leave it alone.
You will screw it up. Minimum, practice with a cheap keyboard.
My guess.......you won't like the results.

Good tip, I'll start on my older one , I don't use it anymore anyways.

Use a 6" brush and non drip undercoat followed by 2 coats of non drip gloss, then bake in the oven at 200 degrees for 45 minutes.

I might also mod my case in addition to practicing on my older keyboard. I have no clue what type/brand of spray paint to get, any suggestions or tips?

Oh, just saw your post, I'll have to try that. Do you have a preference on a paint brand you can suggest?

Not really, I was bored whatever brand it would be a mess.
I think it would work if you used auto spray cans with very fine layers to avoid any runs, and get a glitter spray.

Also for the case modding?

yea, spray paint is best for cases cause it leaves a smooth, non-directional finish, as apposed to a brush.

lol if you spray paint your keyboard your going to hate it, trust me.

 

[zenarchos15.]

well it should be easy to spray paint it if you are going to take the time to take it all apart but I would not recommend it.

Hope this helps *

Yeah, lol, I'm just going to paint my case and maybe put in a side-panel and a fan or two.

Run down to Home Depot and pick up some plexy glass and make a window on the side of your case

Yah, I've got some from another case, think I'll just reuse it. Any suggestions on how to cut a hole in my case? I'm stumped

 

[Motoxrdude]

Hole cutting saw for your drill. They sell them at the home depot as well.

Wow, Home Depot seems to be a great place, now that I think about it. I only ever go if I need some strong glue or paint

 

[Motoxrdude]
