Hi

I'm going to use a hammer finish paint on the pedal I'm currently building.  Just wondering if anyone has any advice on how to do labels for the pots.  I have a feeling decals won't work very well because of the uneven hammer finish, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm not trying to get too ambitious - just some simple labels like this:


Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Decals work fine on hammertone paint. Just make sure you get all the air bubbles out and maybe use a softener as smallbear sells or try a little vinegar in the water to soften them up a bit.
