here my setup, filled the tub with water for easy cleaning. chose blue, silver, yellow and black for this one. usually i stick to 2or 3 colours, but i was feeling adventurous.

Image

did a little swirling with a toothpick, rocked it back and forward a bit to move the paint around and i stopped at this:

i learnt from the past that the weather is not always great.. so i have an indoor drying setup going on with a real useful heat lamp. best purchase ever!

usually leave it for 4hours or so to dry. and thats where it is currently! updates when she's dry.

Has anyone tried splashing nail varnish on, and then etching? Might look cool.

What's the guys name that does the paint jobs for Rockbox Boiling Point? His method involves mixing the paint on the surface of the water and then dipping the pedal. They always look great and it's also the way one does the fingernails if one is into that sorta thing.

That's Dragonfly I think, don't know his real name (John Dragonfly? Don't think so).

I like the crazy colors okay too, but this looks great for me. It calls for adding a simple one or two color picture and knob label texts on that!
