Please excuse the ignorance, but why are all your keys red?


I painted them. When I received my IIc+ the case was horribly marked and
discoloured, so I decided to repaint it. I'm not a big fan of the
Platinum colour scheme, so I did the top of the case white, the bottom
is black and the keys are translucent candy-apple red. It looks pretty
sharp, but it's a lot harder to see the keys (and I'm not mouch of a
touch-typist).



Ah, that explains it.

How has the paint held up? And did you use anything special? I have a couple of older machines that have discolored over the years, and ahve been tempted to try to paint them back to new.. But have been afraid of making a bigger mess of things..
