ZKB-2 DIY Black Badge

[Engicoder]

I think everyone agrees that the black badge is the best one Zenith used on any of their keyboards. Unfortunately, they changed to a beige badge before my ZKB-2 was made. I decide to right the wrong and correct Zeniths mistake

I suck at small detail painting, so its not perfect, but ok for me.

One thing you certainly cannot fix is the tree logo. What the hell was Zenith thinking?

Personally I think the SWA badge is pretty good as well, arguably even better than the XT badge. This looks pretty good though, the relatively lacklustre (literally!) badge on the otherwise so great-looking ZKB-2 was always a disappointment to me xD . And Keycap; yeah, that tree logo was ridiculous, but by that time it wasn't Zenith's call anymore; they'd been bought out by Bull already xD .

So did you use metallic paint for the lettering?

Is there dust on the label or something?

I used some model paint marked gold and silver. It seems to be quasi metallic.

Could be, or could be some painting defects

Nice painting but I have the black logo one.
How you paint the black perfectly?
