D*A*M finish

Post by fuzzer »

If it's OK to ask, I'd like to know how does Mr. Main achieves the finish on his pedals, what printing technique.

Thanks in advance.

Muchas Gracias. :tu:

They have fabulous looks, and I was wondering if I could put that method to practice; unfortunately, I just build one-off's for me, so I'll have to look for another solution.

The real old shit, circa 2004, is all dry letter transfers. The less old shit, circa 2006 , is water slide transfers. There is a couple with the tattoo paper in there too.

Did you use any kind of clear coating over the dry-transfer letterting?

Oh yes. You have to really. They bond real nice with the paint but take forever to apply. Letraset will make you a custom sheet so you can get full words and logos and the like but there like 40 quid each!
