So the Sun Type 7 keyboard arrived; and it's lovely, but it's also very yellowed.
The internet quickly dissuaded me from retrobrighting, but I wouldn't mind dying this keyboard a different colour.
Anybody done it? I see all sorts of YouTube videos but I am not sure what would work on this type of plastic?
