Since I'm planning on doing some myself, I'd love to see whats out there already.

Hand painted enlcourse only. No stickers or printed graphics please[, no solid colors/b].

I like those original, one off's  ;)

Ready

Set

GO

Probably not quite what you meant, but this is handpainted acrylic. I painted a layer of red, let that set, then painted a layer of black over the top. Then I ran the tap over it.

Those are some beautiful examples. I love the fact that none of the controls have names but before you even posted, this is the one that popped into my head after reading the OP.

Dang, guys... very nice stuff.

when you guys hand paint, do you prime first?

Some awesome stuff so far guys. Really great artwork!

Also, how about a sentence or two about how you are going about prepping/painting/finishing the enclosures.


KEEP EM COMING!

That MEGADETH pedal looks awesome!!!

There's some great stuff here that I've never seen before!!!

I'm a talentless owner of an airbrush so i have to rely on masking and cutting out stencils in order to hand paint. I also usually add decals for control labelling but have done a couple boxes with only paint.

MXR ZW Distortion, first time i used enamel paint... and yes, i know, kindergarten-painting-style  ;D


(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l68/NitroBIPS/distortiorz.jpg)

I've done the standard spray paint finished box, but this is a different beast...

Are all you guys using enamel paints?  I'm no artist, but an artist friend of mine has agreed to paint some of my boxes, and I'd like to know how you guys work with this...I was even going to e-mail Laura Bennett about it.


I figure it just makes sense to sand, clean, and etch-prime, but then what?  What kind of paint?  Can you toaster bake it or must you let it air dry?  How long?  If enamel, what kind of drying time?  What kind of finish?  Any info that can be offered would be really appreciated from those who have already traveled down this road.   :)

I sand, then prime, then my wife uses acrylic. I clear coat with Krylon Crystal Clear.

She usually has some texture to her work, so I really don't try to get a glassy-smooth finish, I just get a few good coats on, then I let it cure for a day or so, and hit it with some Meguiar's polish (yup... the stuff for cars. Step 2 of their 3 step wax system).

That smooths out any clear coat boogers, and I leave it at that.

Some of these other guys have some BEAUTIFUL finishes, though, and I imagine they will give you MUCH better insight (and a more detailed how-to) than I could.

Well, of course all the swirlies are hand painted, but since I'm guessing you're looking for something other than that, here are a couple i did a while back -

By the way, there was a booth at NAMM with swirl-painted finishes too.

I didn't paint it, but I like THIS ONE (http://www.buildyourownclone.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12262&p=84853&hilit=hand+painted#p84853).

I read somewhere that Andy (Dragonfly) did a series of swirl pedals for a company. I forgot the name.

I missed NAMM this year, but hopefully will be showing off products at the next one. I still haven't been to one :(.

Gorilla Fuzz!!!

Dragonfly's vero version of the Colorsound One Knob Fuzz Re-Issue

I kinda like some of these, but there's lots of places that they should be better too.  I usually try something different each time I'm painting a pedal, so I never really get practiced enough to have very refined results.  They're all a little rough around the edges, but for my first few hand painted (well... hand spray painted) enclosures I'm happy enough with them.

Going to be a knob free distortion (bunch of mosfet boosters style... obsidian inspired) with a lowpassed clean blend for the bass.  (this one was a disaster to paint.  One coat of a different type that wouldn't stick to the first coat.  A big bubbly mess that actually cleaned up allright all things considered.  The faded bits in the background were wiped off to try to hide some of the horrible looking bits.)

I went for a trippy sixties/Zvex look, turned out ok i think.
not as good as some of the work on here but hey! its my first attempt!

I'm almost embarrassed to show this one off in light of all the great stuff shown here, but here is one I did a couple of years ago.

excellent work

one of my absolute favorite albums, "THE" definitive thrash album imo.

what circuit is inside?

Has anyone used enamel paints for handpainting?  From poking around on the Zvex site (specifically: http://zvex.com/artists.html (http://zvex.com/artists.html)), it's clear that they use testors enamel paints http://www.testors.com/category/136643/Enamel_Paint_Sets (http://www.testors.com/category/136643/Enamel_Paint_Sets)...  I have a friend who's going to handpaint one of my boxes http://www.dethpsun.com (http://www.dethpsun.com) as a favor for me, but I want to be sure I'm having him doing it in the most durable way possible...  So I'm trying to figure out exactly what the best way to do it is...

Thanks

also, has anyone seen http://zvex.com/customs.html (http://zvex.com/customs.html)???  Some great looking stuff!

take a look at my strat-o-blasta a few posts back, thats done with ennamel paint (the kind of stuff you use for afix models) was pretty easy, just paint and let dry lol

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/nosamiam/Magmod1.jpg)

First time doing one this way.

1) Appliance enamel for the white base coat.

2) Laid out stencil using plain computer paper. I'm sort of into graffiti and went for that feel but didn't cop it too well. Need practice.

3) Cut out stencil with x-acto knife.

4) Laid stencil in place.

5) Shot with orange (don't remember what kind) from can.

6) Outlined in black paint marker.

7) Hand lettered with paint marker.

Things I learned:

1) Make sure x-acto knife is very sharp.

2) Make sure blast from spray can won't lift stencil. I got some overspray (underspray?) when I sprayed the orange.

3) Stencilwork is probably better sprayed with an airbrush.

Next one will come out better. I think I'm gonna stick with this method for a while till I get it down.

I "paint" with ink, so it is a little different looking. The  first one is a rubber stamp for the graphic, the background is by hand.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/m8d7pv.png)
This pedal integrates an amp footswitch + a dual looper.
It serves as the footswitch for a Laboga Mr. Hector amplifier, and has two loops. These 2 loops work together with the channel selection and the master volume selection of the amp. Loop 1 (comp, chorus, ...) switches on when the amp is on the clean channel, loop 2 (delay) switches on when the amp is on the solo master volume. The guts are quite simple, it's basically some relays.

I made it for a friend who is obviously a big Megadeth fan...

awesome


I was really hoping though that it was a distortion that emulated the R.I.P. tone! :icon_mrgreen:

I really like that. Beautiful work.

you guys are crazy. man, i really wish i was patient enough to actually paint a box. once i get it in my head that i'm building something though i just go for it and get it all boxed up in a day or two. i couldn't sit there and wait a couple of days just to let the box dry. actually i think the problem is that i usually order all the parts i need, including the enclosure, all at once so it all get's here the same day and i get going right away. i think i need to order some extra enclosures so that while i wait for whatever else i need i can get the box drilled and painted. or maybe i should just calm the hell down and breathe a bit and take a little more time while making pedals so that i can have some non grey enclosures haha. anyway...very impressive stuff guys.

I always do that before I finish mine. I build it and play with it first. Then after the honneymoon. I pull the guts out and finish the enclosure.

yeah i guess i could do that with the pedals that aren't already on my board. i usually build stuff that i don't really need anyway but think is cool so there's quite a few things that i could paint. how long does the process usually take?

If you're gonna paint enclosures first and use them later for projects, be SURE you cover them with paper taped down or with masking tape BEFORE you drill!! No matter how careful you are, if you try to drill an unprotected painted box you're gonna screw it up. The shavings from drilling the hole spin at high speed as you're drilling and scratch up the paint. I learned this one the hard way.

That makes me want to start a sweatshop with all my artsy friends churnin out one of a kind paintjobs!  I really like some of those, painting on pedals is like painting on cars, or tattoos, what looks good on a wall might end up looking terrible on a machine or a person...

That is incredibly beautiful. May I ask some technical questions?
- what type of ink?
- what is the base/prime coat, or did you paint directly onto the metal?
- what are you using for clear finish?

Thanks for sharing that!

okay, another question
If buying a powdercoated enclosure to paint on, do you need to make sure it's not glossy first?  Also, if so, where do you guys order yours from?

Thanks

Okay, so this is a modified Colorsound One Knob Fuzz.  I hand-painted it with Testor's enamel on a Pedal Parts Plus Anodized Blue (which isn't glossy).  I wasn't very happy with the way enamel flows, but I think with some practice I can get things to look exactly how I'd like.

Are you using enamel paint pens?

no, just ordinary markers and painted it with clear coat spraypaint to protect it.

So this enamel paint, if you @#$% up, can you just wipe it off? Or do you have to sand the whole box all over again?

What a nice artwork!!! Can I ask you how you did the color shades with markers? What kind of markers are they? Thanks!

So guys, can anyone help me out. So this enamel paint, if you f u c k it  up, can you just wipe it off? Or do you have to sand the whole box all over again?
Thanx in advance.

Eclipse!  Not as good as old Amorphis IMO, but still worthy of recognition.

Some incredible work in this thread.

Wow that looks incredible!
Can you provide some background info about what techniques you used for the artwork?

Damn, right about the time I think my stuff looks pretty trick you guys have to come along and spoil it all...

Those are really impressive boxes, I'd almost be too hesitant to put my foot on it. Really nice work!

Hi guys, could anyone explain step for step how to paint the enclosure in the way ome of you did here, and which kind of paint should be used. So far I sand the enclosure, put a few layers of primer, dry it very well, than put a few coats of paint, how do you proceed with painting it later and the main question I already asked here, when painting the enclosure with enamel paint and you make mistakes, can you just wipe this paint off, or will you have to sand the whole enclorue all over again?

Thanx in advance,

MFZ-1

Here my first attempts at hand painting.

this is the largest enclosure i ever painted by hand. took about a gallon of of rustoleum oilbased enamel, and a week, including prep
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/joegagan/Picture073.jpg)

Hey, so I've painted my enclosure with some enamel model paint, over a powdercoat base, and then I realized that I should probably put a clearcoat over it. What kind of spray on clear coat should I use to go over enamel paint? I've heard that laquer will cause it to bubble, is this true? I'm just wondering because I do have a can of clear lacquer at home, but I can always go and grab something else if I need to.

one of my absolute favorite albums, "THE" definitive thrash album imo.

what circuit is inside?

(http://i42.tinypic.com/m8d7pv.png)
This pedal integrates an amp footswitch + a dual looper.
It serves as the footswitch for a Laboga Mr. Hector amplifier, and has two loops. These 2 loops work together with the channel selection and the master volume selection of the amp. Loop 1 (comp, chorus, ...) switches on when the amp is on the clean channel, loop 2 (delay) switches on when the amp is on the solo master volume. The guts are quite simple, it's basically some relays.

I made it for a friend who is obviously a big Megadeth fan...

I am interested in how the circuitry on this goes, as im trying to do the same thing with my setup.
