PS: To avoid a misunderstanding, I used clear matt enamel spray as fixative, I did not use the rub-on signs as a mask for coloured enamel spray. Btw. I used black rub-on signs on grey keys. Since the kind of plastic used for the keys could differ and the quality especially of coloured, e.g. white rub-on signs nowadays might differ, too, it might be important to make a test firs, e.g. inside the hollow space of a key.
