Wow really dig this build, just superb!

Not to derail the thread but @muddyfox:
If you have not tried my enclosure etch tutorial give it a go:

Man TBH I've read so many tutorials that I've lost count! 
I see you are also a proponent of the smooth surfaces for toner adhesion... I've pretty much given up on etching but I'll probably give it another go these days and try your tutorial out. Thanks!

That's totally classy, and great etching inside and out!  Marshall knobs plus font add a great touch to the entire pedal.  The color is badass too.  I'm inspired to try my own hand at a reverse etch like that now.

[Hexjibber]

That's wicked man! A great etch and the metallic paint really sets it off, I've been thinking about trying metallic paints with reverse etching for a while now so will definitely get on it after seeing this result, top work!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'll see if I can get a demo of this thing up this week. I am so bad at demos.

Brilliant. I love the finish on that, and the knobs are a perfect touch. If that sounds as Marshall as it looks, you've got a major winner there.

Awesome build, your reverse etching is on top level.. I've tried it 3-4 times and they all ended bad..
Btw what do you use for etching?

[raulduke]

Very very clean build.

I dig it!

wow, that really did come out great. Excellent work!!

[billstein]

That is really nice. Did you spray on the hammertone?

[jubal81]

The one tip I have for etching that's made a big difference for me in getting the toner to stick is preheating the surface before I put the paper on it.

[muddyfox]

Now this is something I thought about but never actually followed through. How much do you sand, J.?

[ncdb07]

Awesome!

That lettering is perfect!  I don't know how you sanded those letters shiny without scuffing up the rest of the paint, but it came out amazing!
