It just takes practice. Getting the paint consistency right and then learning "when to stop" are the keys, IMO.

2- I tape the enclosure on a cardboard tube (like the tube inside a toilet paper roll) from the inside so I can hold the enclosure when painting and it can stand nicely when drying.

Well, it's not a pedal, but I had to do it anyway....



Maybe you could laminate a thin sheet of lexan over it to protect it.

It has a THICK coating of acrylic spray on it now. :)

Have you tried painting the back of clear Lexan and using that as your pickguard material?  I've done an amp faceplate with 1/16" Lexan and once mounted there no risk of damaging your hard earned artwork. No pick, ring or fingernail... no matter how hard you play will ever get through that polycarbonate.

Take care,
dave

Think about how the paint swirls, with one layer resting on top of another.....

What about if you did the sparse dribbles first, then built up the larger amounts of paint over that, swirling as you went?

I suppose it could be tried, but I do swirls quite a bit differently now that I was doing when I did the tutorial.
