Etched enclosures

Engine paint might work well, too. Like for farm equipment. Dries faster and super hard. And cheap.

^ yep..

radiator paint/enamel will be ok too i think..

Couple of simple builds, looper and ABY box but still thought worth a nice etch

Mind = Blown. What method did you use?

I recognize that second pattern, used it on a website build for my band at one point.

This website is a gem if you're looking for a freeware graphic design resource.

I expect to see your green and yellow "Nothing Runs Like a Deere" pedal coming out soon.  Maybe show a waveform with a John Deere lawn tractor mowing the tops off it for a fuzz.

Much appreciated, thank you. I've done one attempt that succeeded and like 10 that were just really crap.
This one got pretty nice when I filled in the etched parts with red paint, and sanded the rest and then covered with clear coat,
I don't seem to have a picture of that finished result..

No problem man, hope it's useful! I like the look of that etch, definitely a cool font! Keep us posted if you do any more!
