Sand key tops with a very fine sand paper ....put on a board with a retaining strip of wood (so they won't fall off)....Put out in the sun....buy the strongest peroxide from your drug store (here in Australia I order 120 volume) ...(it will have to be ordered in)...make up a stick with rag wrapped around it and make it look like a paint brush....why...because the peroxide will disintegrate the rag or paint brush in a couple of days.....Paint the peroxide on (in the sun) about every 1-2 hours....it will take 1-3 days in the sun with the peroxide to get the colour you want.....when happy with colour....wipe the peroxide off with a damp cloth.....then polish with a good buff and cutting compound. Warning....if you get this stuff on your fingers they will go WHITE....but goes away in a couple of hours. Just putting them out in the sun without peroxide will take FOREVER!!!!
