I'll add my blower box by idiot effects. Its not a custom job per say, but I think it looks bad a** and it is etched after all

And my POG2. I bought it here on TB from someone else, but its still etched!

(its the one in the lower right hand corner)

I has too many. Here's one of my latest. I now do laser etching. That small bubble you see in the pic went away as well.

Cool work here!

I wish I could do all that great etching, but still this got me inspired to refinish an old box I have around... I guess a can of bright metallic paint will do.

I'm resurrecting this thread. I'm having a custom 250 built and it is in powder coat yellow just like the original is. But it is just yellow, no design of any kind.

So I want to paint that cool design that is on the OG 250 on to mine.

What kind of paint should I use for this?? Maybe @rratajski could help? What does Shannon use to paint your guys' pedals? I want that type of look. But mine will mainly just be line work like this:

Acrylic (with a coat of clear gloss spraypaint after it's dry) for detailed work with blending.
Enamel (no clear coat) for one pass work (like our stock art).
