Got some new keycaps a few days ago, next step is to paint the top and bottom case.

That keyboard looks like black painted cardboard with some keys glued on top, very nice keys though

Geez how harsh can you be, towards someone who obviously spent time in accruing his key-caps and fitting them.
If he's a beginner you congratulate them for attempting it, not pour cold water over them for even trying. Thought this place would be better than OCN or Geekhack.

hey hanjin,
I have the same keycap set. the olivetti clone from tai-hao. What U get for the price is absolutely super. still, I'm not very happy with them. the stet is overall darker than the olivetti set from GMK. I think it doesn't really fit a black nor a white keyboard. so think careful before u start the paint-job. gray would be ok I think.
Also I want to mention, that these ABS caps are quite thin. I suggest you try some O-rings (thicker ones), would make them feel nicer.
I also considered this keyboard from gigabyte - because it isn't expensive, looks simple and doesn't have border/frame.
sometimes bad picture quality makes things look less nicer than they actually are - same vice versa
here is my poor picture:
