I really like all these different colored knobs but can only find the black ones. Where would I find these?

Also, they use Epoxy Enamel finish. Any idea where to find that type paint? It seems to be very durable paint!!

You might try asking the guy at Catalinbread FX. He buys all those different colors.

I dont really see those small knobs on his projects though. I ones Im talking about are these http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=103 only different colors such as Frantone has on their products http://www.frantone.com/. Too bad smallbear doesnt carry the colored ones too.

+1 on the paint.  I believe those knobs are plastic, and Krylon makes a spray-paint specifically for plastics.  It bonds to the plastic and absolutely does not chip off.  Well... I've never seen it chip.

I emailed and got a reply back from Frantone Electronics (awsome silicon fuzz pedal btw "peach fuzz") about buying what knobs they sell and they state they the pastel ones Im so fond of were only custom made and are no longer made. But, they do have a few basic colors they sell at a reasonable price.

I'm telling you, try the Krylon Fusion.  They have like a dozen colors and it coats plastic prefectly.
