SHO paint design

Post by blenk » Mon Jun 21, 2010 9:13 pm

is this taking my fondness for orange amps too far? Anyone think it will look good? whats the best spray paints to use and whats the best way to spray it ? also which sign looks best i cant decide?

Image
This one has the Output/Volume sign

Image
This one has a very badly represented gain sign but thats the best i could to in 5 mins on photoshop

I think it will look awesome. I'd use the gain symbol/label. I'm not sure about the paints, but if you wait long enough, Mr. Oler might give you some good info.

Spray paints are generally pretty wimpy when it comes to painting things, at least in being 100% bullet proof. I'm working on figuring out tougher solutions right now, but I'd go with a few coats of enamel, and make sure you use some clear coat (4 -5 coats) after your design and before you put in the parts and pieces to give it some more protection and shine. :)

Im more of a fan of the gain symbol myself. But the fist symbol would be more awesome!

i agree - gain, or fist. either are awesome. more awesome would be a tiny little tolex'd shell for it.

Ok... I officially have too much time on my hands. I might add the graphics if I get some more free time.

Maybe "S.H.Orange" for the pedal name in the Orange font...

That would be pretty awesome-looking. An orange LED would be a nice touch if possible. I might suggest naming it the Hustler Boost to reference a historic Orange model and also a publication synonymous with erections :D .

You know, if you don't want to paint that you can get printable self adhesive vinyl, and you've already got the graphic there.

I've stuck it to project boxes before, If you then coat it with some clearcoat its pretty hard wearing.

Just a thought...
