As my touch typing skills are sadly lacking I would like to - carefully - repaint them.
Other than needing to borrow (steal actually) a very thin brush from SWMBO who is an artist are there any other suggestions
One thought is to use a white CD marker pen (very fine)

I use a M$ Ergonomic Internet keyboard and have done for about 5 years (this one) and NONE of the keys are worn! Even my old IBM thinkpad which had a hard life still has very little wear on it.

If it were me, I would consider buying a decent keyboard of eBay, as you can get a good quality, brand new, branded keyboard (such as Microsoft) for less than £5.
Another even cheaper option that might work is to use a label making machine to make some permanent letter labels to stick over the old key caps.

White enamel paint?
Very carefully cut stencils and spray paint?
Any of the above should give a lasting finish but it's a lot of work, iirc you can pick up those logitech boards for between £5 and £10 these days. Alternatively you could wear all the labels off and go for the uber-leet Das Keyboard look.
