	I used some fine sand paper, that kind that you have to put in water (high number, highest possible, very thin one). First i washed with water, and then i passed the sand paper very gently, water again, and 2nd hand of sand paper, this way, i removed all imperfections and prepared the case to receive the spray painting. After the case was dried, i used white spray with no bright at all. Spray it smooth, let it dry and pass the sand paper again to remove the excess ink, then spray it again.

-	I also try to clean the keys, but they are much more difficult, looks like the keys are ~~mda~~ from a different plastic material then the case. I washed them a lot, i even put them in the washing machine, they improved a bit, but the yellow is still there. If you look the keys from the inside, you will see the original white.	+	I also try to clean the keys, but they are much more difficult, looks like the keys are made from a different plastic material then the case, i could not spray them or i would loose the key symbols.
