Jesus Christ on a cracker, that's a visual crime against humanity.

You need an ultrasound cleaner
Same keycaps after a little cleaning and with GMK Carbon mods:

I had the pictures a very long time flying around. I tried to clean the case with oven cleaning spray, but I failed. The keycaps are now in the possession of kbdfr.

Burn that case. The paint job isn't poorly executed, but it *is* in poor taste. Tiger stripes?! Yuck.

Its already in the trash, the oven cleaning spray worked, but after wasting one bottle it wasn't even half clean (paint removed).

I bet kbdfr is using this keyboard wearing a matching Tiger stripes satin pyjama. #hughhefner

I can't begin to express my relief that it's gone forever. Has anyone considered nominating that for
The *Ping*?

I know such a shame that such a unique piece of art is gone for ever.

Hey, this was probably considered totally rad back in the 80s/early nineties! Watch a few Amiga demos ... I remember how we all learned how to airbrush back then in summer camp and made unbelievably ugly stuff...
I'm sure this will totally come back in a few years ...

Very true.

Everything will come back sometime. And new trends will be born which also will be "out" and come back someday.
Original I wanted to restore the keyboard and thought it will be easy to remove the paint, but yeah... and don't worked like I planned. If I score next time such a keyboard I will send to chyros so he can rage about the most flimsy cherry keyboard of the world.

Ein Drache und ein Krieger,
Kämpfen auf dem Berg,
Airbrushgemälde
Leider geil.

Hell yeah ... unfortunately, as you can see they're pad printed. Had the idea to get some Amiga-A molds from GMK for a long time now.
It's very hard to see but Amiga mods are a different color than "Classic Beige" mods so right now it's very hard to put those Amiga mods to some good use. Unless you have a build with stabilized Tab
