to anybody else that doesnt like the light showing through the seams at the bottom of the keyboard i fixed mine by taking some testors modelmaster paint in the steel color with a #0 brush and run it thru the seam. takes a couple coats but it works and looks a hell of a lot better. the steel color is an exact match when dry.

Is it the enamel paint or the acrylic? It looks like Testors makes both in steel color.

Can you please confirm this is the right one?

i believe i used the enamel.... tried painting the end of the stylus with it so it would blend in , but it wore off.... no issues with what i did with the keyboard tho

I tried Testors Model Master Steel Enamel, paint code 1780. It didn't match the color of N810. The paint is darker, and it is not as glossy.

If anyone knows of an exact match, please do tell.
