So I got a 1970's Thomas Organ Crybaby in a trade a few days ago, and it's just flat out a killer sounding wah. I'm going to mod it for true bypass (it sucks quite a bit of treble with just it in the chain) and an LED, and I might add a pot to control the bass response, but I'm not sure about that. Suffice to say it's a keeper.
But the shell isn't in the greatest condition, so I want to refinish it. I've never had good luck with spray cans being durable in the long run, so I was thinking about getting it powder coated, but that's expensive. So I was wondering if anybody's done it themselves? If so, how difficult is it? Are there any special tools I'd need? I want to make it a nice deep metallic purple.
