Started making pedals. Here's my first two paint jobs. dod250 on the left and a ts808 on the right. Both from BYOC.

Look into photolithography like etching circuit boards. You can etch anything. You could probably do laser toner transfer too. If you etch down the surface just a little bit, you can then squeegee paint or ink over this and make a really nice looking graphic. It will have a very cool vintage high end look if you do it right.
If you are handy with digital tools, look up patent drawings for text and lettering to vectorize and use. That is a cool source for this kind of application.
Funny you should mention this. My next pedal is a big muff. I was going to try etching the pcb layout on the top of the enclosure.
Oooooh. Please share photos. That sounds awesome.
