3. Dish washing soap ( or any other cleaner kind of thing )

4. Good workplace with enough light ( I usually work on my iron stand )

5. Patience ( Must or things get messy )

Step 1: Opening and Cleaning

  • Open the keyboard ( un-screw )
  • Clean with water and scrub with brush to remove stains
  • Dry it
  • spray paint
  • Ad carbon fiber vinyl ( Optional )
  • Close it

There is no trick or any thing that can fall in complex category. Its as simple as rotating the screw anticlockwise to open and clockwise to close.

Rest here are some painting tips

• Not a fan of the glossy.shiny spray paint finish but matt paints are really hard to find.

• However here are the tips for spray painting

• Clean the surface thoroughly and spray outside.

• Dnt spray in direct sunlight.

• Shake the can well before spraying 1-2 min. Its must.

• Maintain 0.7-1 foot distance from the surface to be painted.

• Spray in rhythm like the car wipers move.

• Spray as much thin layers as u can.

•Wait 5-8 min after every coat.
