My son is working on repainting a skateboard, and found this video.  Looks kinda cool.  Anybody tried it on a pedal?  I wouldn't be surprised if Drew wants his upcoming Fault Line painted to match his skateboard.

That looks pretty rad!  I guess the trick would be to try getting thinner streams of soap to splatter around, since with a pedal you have much less surface area to work with.

One thing I can think of - mix some soap and water together in a spray bottle. Practice getting the spray down so you get a good even coat of spray droplets all over the box. Spray your top coat over that...

I was thinking of squirting the soap out of a soda bottle with a pinhole drilled in the cap.

Maybe a syringe?

I wouldn't dilute the soap or it might not cling the way you want.
It might work if you just choke way up and hold the dawn gel bottle around its "shoulders".  That way you could sort of sling it without squeezing the bottle very much.

Put the soap in a zip loc baggie and poke a tiny hole in it.  Looks interesting.

Hang on, the crocs! Is it Barry from guitarPCB?  ;D

Seriously, though, that's a cool method. Will have a crack at that, I think.
