that motivation

after the painting and finishing the surface will be smooth or the scratches will remain?

Won't see the scratches if you did the base layer correctly. The surface in the end will depend on your last clear coat (aka finishing coat). Some people recommend that you make multiple layers of the final coat instead to ensure a consistent texture.

So, sanding = make the surface abraded so that the paint stick.

Foundation aka first coat = make things white so that you main coat is visible.

Main coat = this is where your colour comes from. Multiple layers until happy with colour.

Top coat aka finishing coat aka clear coat = texture when you touch touch.

Since you need to dry dry a bit between coats, doing it on a sunny day is the best.

RAINDROP.

dye sub on pbt??! i dunno what it is but still its so smexy!!

Raindrop is DS ABS by SP

it's not pbt dyesub.
it's doubleshot abs.

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=55523.0
anyone getting this?

but the texture looks abit coarse, like PBT.. this doubleshot ABS as tahan as PBT?

both abs and pbt keycaps can have textured (a bit rough or sandy) surface or smooth surface.
just that for textured surface, abs will be smooth-en easily through extensive use.
whereas pbt takes a very very very long time to reach that stage.

imo o-ring mod only sounds better on MX Blue keys, while brown n red still sound better in their original state

Makes me want to put O-rings in mine.

You can hear the thinness of the keycaps from here :|

do bear in mind, it's not just the sound, the feeling is different as well. u will be landing on a soft surface instead of the hard surface.

SP can make any texture you want.
