Stone effect paint?

[Greg Octopus]

I saw this stone effect spray paint:

Just wondering if anyone has ever used it, I reckon a pedal that looked like a rock would be pretty cool, but can't help thinking it'd be really tricky to get the sockets and controls to fit properly as it gives a rough finish.

Can't imagine it would give you issues fitting things, obviously it'd defeat the point trying to smooth it out though with sand paper. Would just give it a matte lacquer and you're good to go.

Dig through the "Pictures!" thread, there are quite a few that have used it. Mounting shouldn't be any problem at all, more issues applying graphics afterwards.

Interesting paint for sure, but your only allowed to use it on ROCK pedals.

[Earthscum]

Lol! Doesn't that also mean you aren't allowed to use aluminum for anything intended for "Heavy Metal"?

I used something very similar on this:

I wouldn't recommend it. Kinda classy for about five minutes, but looks really knackered very quickly. Bit like a Welsh girl.

If you ever run into a finish that you'd like to use for something but you know it won't be easy to add graphics then just use it for a boost. One knob so you don't have to worry about noting which knob does what...its a one knob job!

Would have to agree with that as well, can imagine it might get quite gimicky

Am I the only one who now thinks of Charlotte Church when he sees stone paint in Wilkonson's?

the stone one is similar to these, which work great

i've used black granite, gray stone and canyon moss

the Aged Iron that markeebee used is very cool, too.

I've used it - different colour (green). My first go was on a test strip of shiny stainless steel and you couldn't shift it with a fingernail - not even the overspray. No primer, just degreased. It softened with water, though. I think if there was a possibility of it getting wet it would need a clearcoat of matt acrylic to seal it. No issues with pots and switches and it bonds well to diecast boxes so long as they're rubbed down first.
