Pedal builders...who does your silk screening?

[BMF Effects]

Looking for recommendations if anyone has one. There are guys that are local for me but I'd prefer someone who has pedal experience. Thanks.

I brought mine to a T-shirt shop. Gave them the artwork and blank pedals and they did the rest. Pretty cheap too.

The ink used for T shirts & the ink for pedals, is very different. The guy where I get my pedals done (a converted 2-car garage!) bakes them in an oven.

You can easily DIY if you don't mind learnin' how, but if not, you can pay screenprinters to knock you up a screen with your design on it and print your own labels.

I'm really interested in doing this myself too. I've heard that an epoxy paint is best on top of powder coat. I figured I could silkscreen pre-coated enclosures like small bear sells.

Yes, but the process is the same. The guys I used ordered the right kind of epoxy ink for the job. BTW, they bake T-shirts in an oven too.

My band uses an amazing place in Louisville called Monkey Drive.

They do all of our Tshirts and other merch and they're super amazing and great people. I'm sure they can do pedals or whatever. Tell Chris that Rainer Maria sent you.

Cheers

Brad makes a good point.  Making the silkscreen isn't that far removed from exposing PCB's with ultraviolet light.
