RE: Adhesive vinyl overlays - WP31S, WP34S, newRPL variants now available!
I promised before/during/after images, and finally here's the "after."

I guess my eyesight is no longer 20/15.
The photo reveals little imperfections that I cannot see when holding the calculator.
Those little edges between the main overlay and the keys are really quite invisible in practice.

Again thanks to fellow collector @grbrun for the idea of masking with a sharpie. A little painstakingly careful effort, and (in person) it looks like the calculator was built this way and is not "wearing" an overlay.

   
Daily drivers: 15c, 32sII, 35s, 41cx, 48g, WP 34s/31s. Favorite: 16c.
Latest: 15ce, 48s, 50g. Gateway drug: 28s found in yard sale ~2009.
