Thanks a lot!!!! .... You can buy the adhesive paper from Small Bear, but isn't the same that I used. It has to be the same with any adhesive decal paper...

It's hard to match the color in the screen to the printer so I use the printer color as the base... I use transparent layers to have a better color reference, not white background. I use ink jet but if you use color laser the results has to be better, you only have to buy the correct adhesive paper.

hey thanks

well the process was something like this:

-wet sanding (from grain 100 to 600)
-then about 3 or 4 coats of spray
-then used acrylic paint (red and black) for the graphics
-and, last, sprayed three coats of acrylic lacquer, so it shines

letting each layer of material (being spray paint, acrylic paint or lacquer) dry enough time helps a lot for a clean finish, i've learned

nordine, that's right up there with some of the BEST DIY boxes that I have ever seen! it's because of talented people like you that i love to browse this forum!

seeing such detailed hand work like that makes me feel like having some stamps made up, or something!

Yes, I found out that the circuit would not sound as compressed as I want without him

well, i do eat a healthy dose of gummi life savers as i build...

[nordine]

hey folks, i'm flattered 

thanks for the kind words, it indeed did take some time.. seems, it delivered what it took 

as for coffyrock question, i'm starting to doubt the trueness of every photo i've looked at in my life, because, carefully looking the pedal -then the photo-, you can tell these ARE NOT the original colors ...the red is a sparkling red, the black shines its texture because of the lacquer, the orange is *not that* yellow

here, another take:

Here's my first active build: The Fetzer Valve (I've build a basic A-B box before, never something powered):


Inside (sorrry, a little fuzzy):
