Anyone know what kinda paints these are?

I wonder why we don't see more of this? It has a really cool vibe to it. Almost 3D111!!!

your local hobby store (hobby lobby, etc) should have acrylic puff paint...sometimes it is located by plain t-shirts, so old ladies can craft you some purty kitty kats.

And I guess just put a coat of clear coat over that to secure it?

My guess is that it's epoxy paint. You can achieve that effect with it and it's super durable.

That's what I kinda figured, THAT or enamel.

I'll be doing some experiments. I'm hoping if I can get rid of my amp and get myself a new one I'll buckle down and build some pedals.
