Keyboard!






I have now applied a solution of watered down black acrylic paint into the laser cut engravings on the keyboard. It was a very long and tricky process, I used a very fine paint brush and applied a small blob of paint per letter. Sometimes the paint would overflow out of the engraved area but using tiny bits of tissue to dab and wipe the excess paint worked very well. I let it dry for a full day as it was very watered down. I think it was a great success and looks fantastic. Although next time I do something similar to this I will make sure I use an even higher engrave setting to create a deeper cut line, I think this would make it much easier to apply paint into the required areas.
