So lemme get this straight (heehee)
You want us to *help* you take a black vintage BX-3 and turn
it into a Hot Pink Linoleum BX-3???

well depending on how and who painted the keys, the paint
might very well come off with mineral spirits. Acetone and MEK
will likely "melt" the keys which are probably just styrene.

Wet down a rag and start wiping and see :-)
