I just got bored and decided to paint my keyboard and mouse. I had a can of Krylon Gold that I'd used for some grills and against my own judgement, I went for it. I did the mouse and after applying a light coat of the gold, I sanded it and applied the finish coats. I then polished it with Mother's Plastic Polish amd WOW was I impressed with myself. Came out with a deep gloss finish like a bowling ball. I then had to try the keyboard. I screwed up the first coat and had pot marks all over it. Nopt having any real primer, I coated it again and then sanded with 400 grit followed by an 800 grit wet sand and repainted. After several coats, I polished it out after 24 hours with Mother's again and while it's not as deep a look as the mouse, it was as perfect as I could ask for. I may tear the board down again and hit it with a clear coat and another polish, but I'll have to be really bored to yank all of the keys again. Let me know what ya' think.

man that looks great. That took alot of work to make it that smooth.Great job. Let me know everytime u do somthing like that i love reading the stories people have creating these monsters.

Haha it really does have that bowling ball finish. I dunno about gold though hehehe. Looks great regardless

If it will stay on after using it a couple of months I'd say you did very well for your first paint job!
