custom decals builds

Thanks, I used a hot hairdryer on low for 10 minutes at close range on the transfer sheet with very slow movement. After peeling the transfer film off and cleaning up, I put the pedal in the oven for about 30 minutes at 230 F.

The powder coated enclosure came from Tayda and I had similar questions, so I emailed them and this is what Hugo Tayda said:
Paint will be damaged if you apply heat more than 120 Celsius (248 F). 200 Celsius (392 F) is very very high. We cure them at 180 Celsius (356 F) for 10 minutes.

There's an excellent tutorial on the Madbean pedals forum (click the link, but you may have to register to see the post). Thanks to Thewintersoldier for putting that helpful info together in an easily digestible format!

Best of luck to you!

Thanks again for the recommendation on the film free decals. Just did my first attempt this morning using the tutorial, and it came out flawlessly. Very much appreciated!

I like the added colors. It reminds me of something.

You are most welcome! Nice work! Doing color graphics on a white or cream colored enclosure is nice as well. I'm looking forward to doing more of these. On a side note, I recently used the film-free transfer sheets to make a coffee mug with a photo of our dog on it for my wife. Came out pretty good, and the ceramic mug was a lot more forgiving with the heat than a pedal enclosure.
