The reason I'm asking here is because of the subtitle, which reads:
"FAUX FLAME MAPLE FINISH BYOC PHASE ROYAL"

The finish is just awesome on that green one.

I saw these a week or two ago. They do look great. I'm also intrigued by the truck liner on the bottom.

As the pedals look like they function it's clearly not me...but I'm pretty sure I know how to make a finish resemble flame. You'd do it by etching the surface of the enclosure with a dremel tool. Do it in any pattern you'd like--I've used one of the little sander paper tools in the past, but I'm not sure it's ideal. One of those conical deals might work even better.

If you wanted the paint to be darker on the outside, you'd do it in the same fashion you'd do a sunburst guitar. Paint the lightest color first, and then get a paint sprayer that was easy to direct (honestly, your best bet would be an airbrush) and overspray the outer edges with as many light coats as needed.

just a quick search shows that erotic effects are in fact made by good karma

He hasn't posted on here in a while.
