Just to illustrate using multiple colors -- here's a vibe pedal I did with four coats of powder. First I applied the black chrome on the bottom half, cooled it, taped it off with high-temp masking tape and then shot dormant burgundy base coat on top. I let the dormant burgundy heat up slightly then pulled it from the oven to cool. I removed the tape and cured the dormant burgundy base coat. After that cooled I masked off the beltline stripe, shot that with bright red, cured that and then cooled. Final coat was clear over the entire box -- it activated the dormant burgundy and did a nice job of smoothing everything out. You can't even feel the stripe with your fingernail.
Lots of good info and technique tips here -- http://www.powder365.com/forum/ -- a lot of those guys are hardcore pros but there's a lot of good information to be gleaned over there. Check out the CUSTOMER PICTURES section to see some of the gorgeous work these guys can do.

I have the harbor freight rig and I've had mixed results. More often than not I get orange peel so I've reverted back to PPP for now. I don't know if the issue has been bad powder coverage or my toaster oven sucks. I even put an oven thermometer in to verify temp, but still the varied results.

The switching board is almost as big as the Zen board!

That's amazing! How did you achieve the raised lettering and graphic?

If you had various color options, common box sizes, and non-etched enclosure pricing comperable to PPP or Mammoth, I would be in to order some.
The main question I have is, what of us guys who suck at designing graphics? If you could supply some templates we could work with, I feel that would take most of the guess work out of it for me. I can handle copy and pasting into a template.

I think this is a great idea. There would be a bit of a learning curve for purchasers in figuring out what would look good as an etch and what wouldn't, but I think a guide could be put together to help people figure that out. I'd probably be willing to help, depending on my available free time.
