What are the best techniques and materials for re-applying paint or other black substance to the keysticks? Best paint and source? Should I mask off the sharps? Spray vs brush or other applicators? Many are Steinway and Baldwin grands, some nice pianos, so I'd like to do a good, clean job here. Thanks for any advice. -- Paul Milesi Staff Piano Technician Howard University Department of Music Washington, DC (202) 806-4565 Shop/Office (202) 246-3136 Cell
