I used kbd blanks, either should work now though since the spacebars are pbt on the hhkb pro 3’s. They are very evenly dyed, you just need to be careful with used keycaps and there can be little specs of undyed areas if you dont wash them properly.

I’ve finished @sircheddar’s KikiFC660c! I mean it’s mine, but he came up with the case.
Anyway.
I had it Cerakoted in Midnight Bronze and the color is great. I really wanted a board in a warm brown and this nailed it. The FC660c I’m using is used as I couldn’t get a new one so the keys are a little scuffed, but overall it was in really good shape.
Internally I’m using @Dave’s daughterboard which is great to use, has USB-C, and programs with great ease using VIAL or VIA… or QMK if you’re a sadist. Underneath that board is some sound deadening sheet with kapton tape covering the aluminum coating to prevent any unintended shorts.
I painted the switch plate in copper to go with the case color, but I know wish I’d have stuck with my original plan to use black. I may go back and repaint. That remains to be seen.
There’s a few DES MX sliders along with some green domes for the space, print screen, and delete key. And a black dome for the Escape key.
And because it’s super easy to do, I replace the Caps Lock indicator with an Orange LED. I’m also an advocate for Home Row Control.
Anyhow, sorry for the long post, but I was excited to share.

Were you happy with the coat job and turnaround? If so do you recommend?
Oh yeah, they did it in a week. Although they’d quoted me 2-3 weeks. Their price is competitive with others that I’ve seen as well, but it’s definitely an indulgence. This cost $150 and they had the color on hand so I didn’t pay any upcharge beyond that. They’re also local so that avoids any shipping and handling.
It’s more sensible just to buy a board in a color you like. This lesson has been difficult for me to learn.
