I assume the keys on the 15C CE are painted and not double shot.

Yes, the 15c CE keys are painted and not double-shot.

Assuming you mean wear of the physical keys under the overlay, it's unlikely use of the overlay itself will affect them much, but not impossible. Most often, it's the grease, sweat and acid from your fingers which causes key labels to wear, and the overlay would in fact protect them from that.

That being said, I'm not aware of any info on extended use of a silicone label and related key wear, so impossible to say for sure. But if you plan to mount and use one of these overlays for an extended period, I'd recommend you thoroughly clean the keyboard with something like a baby wipe (and NOT alcohol) to remove any oils, etc. from prior use, which would be trapped between the silicone and keys and possibly lead to label erosion.
