Guitar Pedal Painting Finishing Options 

Everytime I see that arcadiator I smile :) You did one heck of a job on that pedal and it really looks great!!!

Very helpful video as always. I revisited it again because I wanted to make a more glossy finish. I usually hand paint my pedals and then finish with a satin clear coat enamel. It seems to protect the artwork well, however it lacks that glass look and feel. Would powder coating be the next logical step? Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the tip about the laser jet decals when powder coating. However, can we still use inkjet waterslide decals on one of those pedals that come powder coated from the seller?

really nice vídeo, I actually liked how the little glossy Green and blue boxes looked. For now its a great money and time investment for me to do It like that, cause I just built the pedals that i considered most important, but in the future ill give it a look. thanks !

Really nice work, thanks for sharing your SECRETS!

I use black or white base with Rustoleum Color Shift or Duplicolor Clear Effects. The color shift changes from purple to red and blue in sunlight, the clear effect has a rainbow glitter effect in sunlight. Both come out looking spectacular.

wheres the link for the stickers?

do you have a video of you doing the epoxy ?

do you know the name of the finish that JHS uses for the morning glory and sweet tea?

Could you share your drill template for your mini pedals? I have one with the same layout as yours with three knobs.

On the powder coated enclosures, after applying the water slide decal, do you also clear powder coat them ?

Thanks for posting this mate. I'm about to make my own pedals and this is really useful. Around 9.20, you've got an icy-looking finish. Is this just a sparkle white powder coating? I'm trying to get an ice/frosty effect for my design.. Thanks again!

Hey bro, so i have a jhs sweet tea pedal and i wanted to have clear coat on it so i can protect the texts on the pedal, can i apply a clear coat directly?

Can you do the base then sharpie then clear enamel? Just wondering if the clear will mess up the sharpie.

Hi whats the epoxy process? do you use a particular product? any details?

Hi I am wondering how I can give a picture of a piece of paper with a schematic I mashed together I need you to help me check it but I don't know to get a pic and let you examine it please help

Careful with the batch size of the epoxy - it really heats up.

could you tell us where to buy these stickers?

I always use enamel spray cans, mainly because my girlfriend hand paints everything with enamels. Takes almost two weeks to get one done, but they look beautiful. Thanks for the different ideas though.

Nice video as always. I'm not a great fan of your hand paiting skills lol but I do think the ones which you've painted by hand (specially the white one w/ the drawings) has more character... And I'd like to remember the metal etching method, where you can do pretty much the same method used to etch the PCB to etch a very detailed drawing on the pedal surface. After that a coat of color, which will penetrate the etched surface will give a very nive appearance. I will do that on a rebote delay I'm making, and I'm planning to finish it with a thick layer of clear coat (acrylic resin) to protect the ecthing and make a even surface. thanks again for the video, pal. And for introducing me to this art.

I started using wood vener under epoxy. Looks great with zebra wood

any chance you could show us how you powder coat these enclosures?

I stick rubber foot on screw holes of the pedal. Because i will never going to open pedal. And its nice to hide screws.

Excellent¡ thanks for the video.

Fabric coverings and stamps for me.

Someone was way too encouraging about your school art projects growing up.

Man you talk a lot!
