Severely tempted. I'd want to grab this and put my favorite 3 knob standard in it and keep the enclosure always on my board but replace the guts as necessary.

That sounds like a plan!
Tomorrow I’m powder coating the last 2 in purple but with the regular clear coat. You might have a change of heart

Dirty Magic + Clear Coat
Ok so here we have Dirty Magic again but with a regular clear coat. I love this color and the pics do not do it justice! You can see the blue metallic flake in the background making the color look like a potion…I think it’s really cool! But if I’m going to be honest I think the Space Dust did something really special to this color…what do you guys think?

They all look great to me. Any color you've shown would look outstanding, especially with a knob that sets it off more, or maybe knobs that just blend right in...
You've got the perfect style case to have 2 colors going—the outside panels and the top wrap—do you have your tolerances tight enough to be able to mix and match them? I'd love to see pictures of those. Or, the idea of the same base color on all the parts, but a matte clear (say) on the sides and the space dust gloss in the center—that type of mix up.
In any case, they all look great—and I had figured you were going to go with that incredible distressed "raw" finish that you showed a few weeks ago.
Edited to add: You also might want to consider colored pop rivets—I'm not saying I don't like the silver ones, just another layer of possibilities. I could see matching the rivet finish to the side screw finish.

So as for the 2 tone colors, the next run will have a lot of 2 tone combinations based on 60s and 70s color tones and palettes!
The raw distressed look could definitely be done again if theyre requested..
The colored rivets i thought about but anodizing them since theyre aluminum!

I will be doing the top in one color and the bottom in another.
Powder coating doesn’t really allow for mixing colors like paint would. For example you can’t mix a yellow and red to make orange. But theoretically let’s say it does mix, I would spray the first color then flash it, I would then spray the 2nd color then flash it and to bind it together I would do a clear coat and cure it for the clear coat time. This is just me thinking how I would do it lol
