Title: More fun on the artsy side
Post by: MattOcaster on March 18, 2013, 07:53:06 PM
What up guys,

A long day at work sparked some creative juices this evening :)
Here are the results of some stress relief...

Attacked this with a belt sander:

Used a lot of water:

Inspired by Jackson Pollock:

Nice and shiny:

Really dig the last and the "used lots of water." You do such cool enclosures. :)

At least you know there's one other fellow "pedal painter" :)

Those are great. I reliced a pedal myself. It's the space ghost phaser if you do a search. That's a favorite finish of mine. Hell fender made a whole line of guitars like that too!

Some really cool stuff there, Matt.  I think you are on to something with that style.

Thanks for the kind words guys :)

The belt sander relic look worked quite nicely.
I had painted it about 3 times before but nothing seemed to work so been on the bench for months.
Where desperation meets frustration, a belt sander occurs :)

Anyone keen to try this approach, would recommend painting a section another base colour like black or white.
What I mean is that I discovered accidentally that because I had white painted over the orange powder coat on the front, it adds an extra dimension when you sand it down.
Just a thought ;)
