Elegant looking paint idea

[chrisguitars]

I tried this webbing paint over black and it looks nice.

The pedal looks very classy and I was supprised at how easy the webbing was to work with.

I have some pedals I sprayed candy red that I am going to apply this gold webbing over. I should look pretty nice and I am impressed with the outcome.

How do you go about doing the webbing paint job? Could you put a tutorial together?

Well to be honest, it is a very simple process. First I drill the box and sand it, this helps the primer stick and insures a good foundation for the paint. Then I sprayed the boxes with primer, once I had a few layers of primer, I dusted the Boxe's with flat black. This dries fast and provides a good guide coat for sanding. I then sanded the black overspray off and ended up with a baby's bottom feeling primer coat.

Then I sprayed a few light coats of gloss black and let it dry. The webbing is real easy to apply, read the directions and use very little. I used one or two quick passes then cleared the boxes. The webbing is a metalick gold and look real nice, give it a try.

I have never seen webbing paint here in italy... looks cool!
I made something similar, the idea was exactly what webbing paint does:



here is the result, I did it with a toothbrush and acrylic paint, that's my favourite pedal so far.

for sanding the paint, do you use the finest sandpaper you have? or what kind? I havent sanded anything yet when it comes to paint.

I used fine steel wool and it works great. One can of webbing will do a bunch of pedals as you only need a one pass to get the effect. I sprayed it over candy red and it is wonderful looking.
