Well you can buy silver keypads anyway, so you wouldnt need to dye your own unless you're too tight to buy an official SE silver K750i keypad.

Theres no reason why you couldnt dye the keys, but i think you're better off leaving the phone alone before you kill it.

I cannot be sure because ive not had my hands on the phone, but the W800i keys do not look rubber to me. They look plastic like the T610's old keypad.

So usind a dye wouldnt work, you'd have to spray paint them or something.

I've used it to dye the composite plastic material and carbon fiber parts on custom built R/C cars. The stuff will dye just about anything that semi-porous.

Funny that you brought that up. Didn't know it was a well known trick.
