Also google for "Building up the Drop Shift (Review/Fun Build Showing) " - reddit link.

The second link provides some additional insight into the keyboard - just "food for thought".

Not disagreeing with your plans and desires.

The design may be cool and look nice - however, eventually the novelty will wear off. And the paint adds no functionality and could even cause problems later on.

In addition, that seems to be a rather expensive keyboard to put at risk by painting etc..

And void any warranty as well.

Plus if the paint does not adhere and starts flaking off then there will be more of a mess.

Keys could also start to stick. Tolerances may be tight.

My advice: do not paint the keyboard.
