Oh hey that's a nice job on the spray painting!
Can you share some details on the process?
Sure! I used Tamia Surface Primer (number 87042) after cleaning the suface of the mounting plate and case with isopropyl alcohol on w microfiber, waited 1.5h, sprayed wioth Montana spray paint Cereza Cherry color twice with around 45 minutes between both sprayings, waited 24h for it to dry. After testing how keycaps fit into the top plate I decided to cover the holes before varnish with cubes cut out from spare charcoal filter I had (too lazy for masking tape each, regular sponge could work here too). For varnish I userr Acrylic Mat Varnish from Montana too. In retrospect I sprayed a little too much on the bottom of the case, it has some wrinkling and didn't do perfect job on the top of the case. If you want to do it yourself it's a good idea to pay more attention to the edges of the top of the case. Acrylic varnish dried for around 20h too
(yes, screws are also painted)
Also if possible I recommend waiting more after every step to dry (only not between color layers, if you wait too long you will have to let it dry completely). I was impatient and too eager to use the keyboard >.<
