Kokbox with still more chipped paint I'm afraid! Something I must rectify; any pointers, anyone?

My first etch of a Madbean layout, however, using the UV method and got perfect results first time which was amazing because most things I touch turn to crap!

I love how you setup your wiring, looks great.

How many coats of clear you putting on your paint? I started to put 5 or 6 and that helped my chipping issues.

Thanks Cody,

I'll try that. I usually put on just 3 coats.

The whole pedal looks great and I love your wiring! Are you using a self etching primer before your color coat?

Aah!...... just did a quick google. Apparently, no I'm not, oops! I'm using regular primer. I'd never heard of self etch primer before. To the shops I go! Many thanks!

Looks great!  Just a tip: self etch primer (zinc chromate)  is really nasty stuff. Works well but don't breathe it in!

Thanks for the heads up, Ben. Very timely advice too as I've just got back from the auto shop and am about to start prepping a box to make a Boneyard II. Cheers mate!
