JUST LOOK AT IT !!!!
I've printed the graphic on decal paper, turning it into something very thin, like the little membrane inside a chicken's egg. To make it a bit stronger and protect it from the water I needed to tranfser it from paper to metal casing, I sprayed a couple of layers of varnish on it. After that I stuck it to the casing, finishing it of with another 4 thick layers of varnish.
This sounds like a fast and easy job, but it has to be done very carefully (even with the varnish, the decal's a fragile little f**ker) and both the de decal and the layers of varnish take 12 hours to dry.
But I love the results, and I will need to redo the casings of the other stompboxes I've already finished (which is no problem anyway, since the tubescreamer is broken, and the distortion plus needs tinkering, since it sounds like shit!)
I have a totally different idea for the casing for one of my next projects. I don't want to spoil it yet, but the picture below should give you a clue.
Keep Rocking!
