This is the de facto guide to finishing a pedal - so props to them!
Wrong. It didn't look cool and any Rustoleum product is crap (their paint is like treacle, and their clear coat disintegrates). It would have looked better if I had poured a bucket of cold sick over it:
So, this week I disassembled the pedal, sanded it down and re-did the finish with a printed sticky decal and covered it with Envirotex Lite. It's an improvement I think:
Any chance you could get some close up photos on what the edges look like where the envirotex finishes please? I assume the ET only covers the top and doesn't cover all sides?
Yes I pour it in the middle then spread to the edges with these you get a pack of 100 for £2

This was a Skreddy Lunar Module Deluxe I built earlier this year (in fact, my second pedal). Once again, this was done with Posca pens covered with cold sick Rustoleum Clear Coat. Looks a bit ropey:
And here's the makeover with printed decal and Envirotex top-coat (so shiny you can see the iPhone camera reflected):
I think this one's a tad nicer. ;-)

They were not phased and loved it/him/the pedals.
I used a violet coloured enclosure and red 1510 Davies knobs (from Tayda) and the combination of "Lovepedal" and violet reminded me of those Love Hearts sweets. Remember them?
I'm part way through painting an enclosure, so I'll need to update when its finished, but so far I've:
Sprayed a couple of coats of primer (white) followed by three coats of pink (a couple of cans left over from a paintjob I did for a friend years ago).
Decided that doing the whole pedal in pink was too much so started painting some white acrylic on with a brush, with the intention of sanding it back to leave a thin layer of white in places and the full-on pink in others.
Found a couple of images which gave me another idea and then spent a day painting on more acrylic, finishing off with a couple of figures drawn with a paintpen.
I'm planning to sand back some of the white on the sides to smooth things over and then put a few coats of satin clear acrylic on to finish it off and seal it.
Here's a pic:
I need a couple more pink knobs too, as I only have six right now
It's a kit made by Parasit Studios called an Into The Unknown.
It might well end up with knobs of a different colour, not made a firm decision yet.
