This is one of pickdropper's The Laying of Hands EP-booster PCBs. I enjoy the sound coming out of this thing more than I thought I would out of a boost. I used a silver spray paint, but even after letting it sit for a week, it would still smudge and flake as I put the circuit in the box. Oh well, I won't be using that paint again.

What paint did you use? I've found that some metallic finishes have to be sprayed in thin, spaced out coats or they never dry fully.
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

It was a can of Rustoleum. It isn't a very thick coat, but I didn't expect to leave a thumbprint in it a week after I sprayed it. I haven't had a problem with other colors of theirs.

Ive had similar experiences with that brand. I painted one of my first builds with it, 3 years ago, and its still soft! I recommend the Duplicolor brand, from an auto parts store. Never had any trouble with it.
