This has been on going since Jason sent out the boards months ago. When I finally got it together I put the switch board upside down (Jason pointed that out when the thing wouldn't work). Once fixed, it fired right up. Then I decided I wanted to try a different color, ie, copper and that turned into a 4 time paint and repaint. If someone likes the color I do not recommend using the Rustoleum copper paint. I found it to be a real PITA. Then it took 4 decals to get it to this point. I got so fed up with finishing it I just said the hell with it and pressed on. Anyway, as others have reported this is an awesome pedal worthy to be placed on anyone's board.

That's a really nice build. I like the contrast of the knobs.
There's that subtle way you mounted the LEDs. Matching black switch covers.
Minimal graphics and easy to read labels for the pots. A little bit of name variety on the 3PDTs.
For me, those two knobs for Master and Gain really scream, "Use me, I've got good sound!"
I think my only personal niggle is the washers on the switches.
overall score: 97/100 A+

Well I was going to use steel washer for the switches and I guess I didn't get the holes cleaned out enough because they caught the decal an lifted it a little and they wouldn't cover the spots. Just one more thing with this thing lol. And thanks for the compliments.
Looks great! Glad you finally got it finished.
I don't know what your original vision was, but the finish looks good to me!
I too have sworn off Rustoleum products—wouldn't even paint my wheel barrow with it.
It does look cool. Definitely worth the extra effort.
I haven't used Rustoleum (it wasn't available in Spain and haven't built a pedal since I moved to the UK...) but I always struggled with spray paints. Only way I managed to get some decent results was by layering really thin coats and letting them dry before applying the next one.
I yet have to build mine, the only demo I've heard (by mfunky) sounds wonderful.
Quick tip on washers: If you've put on a white washer and it's been on for some time,
it can leave a divot in a spray-paint job that a smaller washer won't hide.
Not sure about envirotex and other finishes. As always, YMMV.
