Good work! I wonder if this could be implimented with a keyboard overlay of some kind...
Probably quite tricky as c64 keys are pretty deep....

Hey guys
Right, so I've been locked in a small metal box doing these, as I had to expend all the ideas (& keyboards) I had before proceeding. This is the most creative part, I guess... Still have more ideas & keys, but ran out of key circuit boards.
Haven't posted what the original style keyboards look like with the graphics so here goes:
(I used white decal paper and some very exact cutting for the brown and grey keys)
And another style:
Back to the C64c style:
Slightly sexier version:
Black & Blue
Black & Blood
And I don't know what this is. Fluorescent paint nicely covers up a yellowed keyboard. Then you get carried away.

Now to make some music?

How do you spray only the sides of the keys
Easy really,
- use blu-tack to stick 2 keys on top of each other, face to face.
- stick the key pairs on a strip of gaffer tape to make it easier to spray
- spray (multiple light coats are always best)
- remove the tape and blu-tack and use a pocket knife or whatever to clean up the edges
- after that apply the transfers and coat with sealant.

Re: Multicolour P64 Key Graphics - JPG to download here
Link to page with MSSIAH key decals here: http://blog.re-64.com/?p=41
I ordered a 20-pack of decal paper for laser : http://www.ebay.com/itm/181584277132
Then I printed the image full page with 0 margin all around.
Then I cut out one of the C128 key graphics to do a test (since I do not own a 128) and took a key I had laying around...
After applying I "baked" the key in the oven (60°C / 130°F) for a couple of minutes to dry.
Disregarding the placement, it couldn't be better! Happy happy joy joy
