Joe_T Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Pedal builders/modders... I fancy sprucing up a few pedals for a bit of fun but have no idea what sort of stuff to use paint wise. Any recommendations or no-gos? Cheers -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to obtain, wide choice of colours, easy to apply, very solid, good looking, (fairly...) inexpensive..? 2nd choice : Humbrol [i]et al[/i] model-making enamels, mainly for having small quantities available.

ubit Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Any metal paint from home base as told above. It doesn't have to be anything special. Do you not think that worn looking pedals have character just like guitars ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You get Smoothrite too, which is just like Hammerite, but without the hammered finish. Any oil based paint would be fine for painting your pedals with. Car spray paints are a good option too & you can laquer over whatever you do to make it more durable.

mr pablo Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've had pretty good results with plastikote spray cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
