Excellent work sir. I have just built my first few effects pedals (including a bass fuss!) and am about to embark on a Beavis style proto rig too. And I am also instantly addicted!
Can anyone offer me some advice on painting the enclosures?
1/ I have read loads of walkthroughs on the process, but they all suggest baking them in an oven. Is that really necessary? Can I just leave them to dry?
2/ Also how do I prime them, do I use an etch primer? or can I just use a standard car type primer?
3/ if I want to paint artwork on them can I use acrylic paint and then clear coat them?
So many questions, I'd be really grateful for some advice.

Artwork hasn't yet come up, the last pedal I built (from a kit) was boxed in a pre coated yellow enclosure that I dipped in purple metal flake paint.
So, at some point I'll be asking the same questions as you...
