Members Guttermouth Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 let me preface this by saying - i know i'm an idiot the weather turned before i could get some enclosures primed ( it was super humid and then got insnanely cold) so i've been sitting on my thumbs and doing repairs for about a week now. at any rate - i've needed a tremolo on/off footswitch for my deluxe since i've owned it.i couldn't bring myself to buy a stock silver domed reissue for it ( the amp is vintage and has been "tweaked" quite a bit) and buying an off the shelf switch for it just seems "wrong" somehow. so i tried some new painting stuff to get around the fact that it's too cold to be spraying primer in my basement. here's the finished results : it works great (YAY!! i can turn the trem on and off on my amp without plugging in a pigtail now!!!!) and i think it came out great. i've been digging the masked off stuff lately and this is what i did here.

Members Guttermouth Posted January 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hey GM, what you using to paint the enclosures with? I'm wanting to paint up a pedal to match my amp cabinet I'm halfway through painting.. liquitex glossies.BeeTL turnerd me on to them a while back. you have to do a bit of prepwork on the enclosure and bake it afterwards but they look great. that being said - if you're doing it a solid color, just spray it with a good self-etching primer and hit it with some krylon and then clear coat it.

Eh, I don't think it's worth that much- it's in pretty haggard condition- the cord out to the amp got cut at some point, but I imagine that wouldn't be much of a problem for you.

IIRC it's a 70's pedal- the Fender logo on the sticker inside of it looks like the 70's script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this a real old pic now, I'm not far off finishing this thing..) aaaaah ..ok. self etching primer is the key. as long as you've got a basecoat of it down you can paint them with pretty much anything.the testors model paints also work well,come in smaller quantities and are a bit cheaper.
