So I have an awesome green muff that Schlatte made for me house in a blank metal enclosure with absolutely nothing on it. I got my friend to whip up an awesome design layout to go on the pedal.
It looks like this.

My question to all you DIYers is this: How do you guys go about decking your pedals out? What would be the best way to transfer a digital image to an enclosure?

Re: Glitzing up blank enclosures
the other question is what kind of power connection does it have? if the nut for power is on the outside, you can take the whole thing apart without the need to solder. the quick and cheap way to do graphics is just print to regular sticker paper from an inkjet or laser printer. you can clear coat if you want but devi does not and she's like famous or whatever. there are better ways like lamilabel (from kinkos, UPS store, Staples etc) or professional sticker printing companies. waterslide decals like samueldecal.com (moved to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Samueldecal/382602901896)
but I don't think its worth the money for just one pedal. stick with the inkjet sticker.

you can also print this on a transparent sticker/decal (Laser is better if you clearcoat) and polish the bare metal enclosure so you get the polished look instead of the white.
