I am using a stainless steel enclosure for my overdrive pedal that I built. I am in the decorative stage. I am wondering what kind of patient would be best to use. I am thinking of designing a simple logo to put on the top of the box. Any ideas?

thank you

Hello,

It depends on how creative you are, but perhaps a airbrush kit might inspire you:

Thanks Bertus. A possibility for sure.

If it were me (I'm no artist) I'd browse through public domain clip-art for ideas.

Hello,

You could also get some stencils and spraypaint with them:

Stencils and clip art are more my thing

I'd lay a base in powder coat, use some krylon fusion for stenciled details, then oven bake for durability

Personally i would design some sort of artwork say...like an mural artwork and then add some sort of electronic components to it to add your personal touch just like a Rembrandt masterpiece to complement your design.

I’d actually be happy with the first letter of my last name. D

You should probably find a chunk of scrap steel to try various paints on. Durability is kinda important

 

[SparkyCal]

Good advice from all. Thank-you. I think I am going to keep it simple and just paint a single initial on the box.

Preparation is important.
There are a couple of stages to go through if you want paint to stick properly, especially to stainless.
Just use a sticker, plenty of signwriters have offcuts you could use.
