Hello All,
Does anyone have any suggestion for a lacquer for the pedal enclosure and PCB boards older side?
Pozdrawiam,

I use regular ol' spary on acrylic clear coat. You can solder through it and it doesn't chip too easily if you let really light coats fully dry between coats.
one, sometimes two coats of clear epoxy resin
For pcb's whatever lacquer i'm currently using for the enclosure. At present Target 7000 waterborne spraying lacquer. Other times Testors transparent colored lacquers although never very successful getting an even coating.
Can solder right through those with no problem whatsoever.
Hello all,
Thank you very much for the suggestions,
Im now curious about how Manu layers of acrylic are necessary and if sanding between them is necessary?
Thank you the target 7000 for the PCB I already ordered. :)
Pozdro.,

Engine emanel (plasti-kote for example) is very durable.
All good suggestions, but the real danger to enclosure finish is due to surface preparation.
Cast alloy is very dirty from new, and needs to be cleaned first. Use whatever you can get that de-greases but leaves no residue. Put the cleaned enclosure somewhere warm to dry any moisture out of it, but let it return to room temperature before painting.
Remove any sharp edges, including around all holes. Paintwork will easily crack off at a sharp edge.
