Keyboard modding

Hey,
I am looking to mod my razer blackwidow ultimate 2013 edition, I have had it for 3 years now.
I have some questions :D :
What type of LEDs should i buy? Could it be any type?
Where is the best/cheapest place to buy cherry mx red switches in bulk?
What is the best type of spray paint to use? (I want to spray the top white and the bottom base grey)
Where is the best place to get back lit key caps from?
I know for the price I could buy a new keyboard but that's not any fun and I can't customize it as much ;D

So the keyboard already has LEDs. You may still need to replace the resistors to match whatever LED you replace it with since the forward voltage may be different. Tho I don't know if the 2013 had individual resistors for each LED since it didn't have per key lighting.

 

3mm flangeless LEDs, they should cost from $5-10 for 100 with resistors for 5V.
