Title: I think we should start a "hand painted" thread
Post by: MikeH on March 08, 2010, 12:56:10 PM

I've been getting into hand painting my builds lately, and I know there are a lot of very cool hand painted pedals out there by fellow forumites. Let's see them- Here's my latest.

It's a Guv'nor and DOD 280 compressor in one

I saw another hand painted pedal somewhere that had a rising sun in the background and I really liked it. I just kind of went from there.

Ahhh... I thought there was one started somewhere. I guess Aron didn't move it when he set up this sub forum.

Ha ha! That's the one I was talking about! It's seriously sweet. I think I saw it on a different forum? What sort of paint did you use?

hope you believe me in thisL I've painted it with watercolors, but it wont work, and fortunately I have some colored markers, and it did the job! but I've painted it with clearcoat paint to preserve the colorings! ;D ;D

I've been using Testors, but I have to wonder if ordinary acrylic paints with a healthy dose of clear coat would work better. Testors are definitely a "Paint by number" kind of paint; it's very difficult (if not impossible) to get nice texture, shading, or any kind of gradient going with them.

the trick with testors is getting the consistency right, you generallly have to thin them some to get them to go om well.

why thank you! hehe

now let me tell you something about lacquer, see this:

(http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/9114/loopas.jpg)

its already lacquered
since i was soo excited about it being finished fast, i sprayed a lot of lacquer to it. the top stayed the same, but the sides, oh boy, i drew so much stuff on it, very tiny stuff and details (people, little animals, fur and what not) ...but when i threw all that lacquer on it, i saw how all the drawing (and painting) MELTED on my very eyes... but that only served to motivate me to do much more of this, i also do like how it looks

It's supposed to be base on hendrix's montery pop strat. Its not perfect and full of hand made charm but i'm pretty happy with it considering its my first build.

Well, my painting skills don't go much further than "point and spray" so I had my wife whip up this little piece of artwork on my "Mini Mastodon" bass fuzz pedal.

I've got her working on a couple more now as well. Much better than the sad stick figures that I draw....
