I recently purchased one of these keyboard, and I wanted to make it match my hardware setup color scheme (blue and black). I was thinking along the lines of the casing being black, and the keys a light-gray, and the lock LED's blue.
I tried dying my keycaps today with RIT dye, and I followed what a few guides said to do (bring water to a boil, add dye, add a bit of salt, dip keys in for 15 minutes, remove, wash, repeat a few times), but the keycaps didn't seem to be affected at all by the black dye. They even seem to be a light tint of brown now for some reason. The keys were soaked in dish soap for like 20 mins prior to being put in the dye. I noticed a plastic spoon I was using also didn't seem to take the dye, so maybe it's because of the type of plastic the keycaps are?
As for the casing, my plans were to clean it, and spray paint it with a cheap, flat (non-glossy) paint. I have to purchase a hex driver though (could of sworn I had one, but I guess not), so this will most likely be done after the keys.
Any recommendations and suggestions?

a little while ago, so hopefully those will both work out ok.
