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 ;)
