Hi everyone,
I've been reading along for a while now and this is my first second post (forgot about the first one). Been building pedals for over a year now and I really love it.
My problem: I really suck at painting enclosures so I've been looking into buying painted enclosures. Since I live in The Netherlands, buying from PPP or other US shops is expensive (shipping and taxes). Can anybody suggest a good and reliable source for painted or powder coated enclosures in Europe?
Thanks!
Hey dude, welcome to the forum!
I won't hesitate to guess where you can get cheap enclosures in your part of the world, but there are lots of guys here who could chime in about that I'm sure :)

Here in sweden we have www.moodysounds.com, they carry some painted enclousures but its mostly 1590B and which i think are to small for most builds. Here is the selection http://moodysounds.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7_18_25&sort=0
I would sure like to find a good dealer in europe.
Tonefactory.nl has some BB sized cases in black in a couple of other colors. I have got some from germany (125B), but also standard colors (black, blue, orange...) no special stuff.
I´m still looking as well.
I am getting ready to order maybe 10-15 from ppp, but I am not sure yet if and when. I calculated some time ago that price per piece would be about 10 euros including shipping to the netherlands if you order about 10. That´s ok, if you consider time and money spent on painting bare cases that cost 9 euros as well...
Thanks guys,
I'm not looking for anything special, just some standard colors. I love the DIY stuff but painting is not for me I guess. If I stumble upon some interesting sources myself I will post them here as well.
@Boom from the Netherlands as well?
Uk Electronic Germany carries some variations and colours.. http://uk-electronic.de/onlineshop/index.php/cPath/104?osCsid=ec5caf396c99a08b604028b04413da7a (http://uk-electronic.de/onlineshop/index.php/cPath/104?osCsid=ec5caf396c99a08b604028b04413da7a)
Hope it works out for you
Ja zeker !

Musikding.de also does (i think it's pretty recent) powder coated enclosures.
