Hi folks,
made my first board a couple of weeks ago and all i could do at the time was to spray paint two blue go-faster stripes onto it. Since then i've been looking around and came across some really stunning board graphics and different techniques, such as painting straight onto the foam, mixing color into the resin, using templates, airguns, brushes etc etc.
So I decided for my next board to have some cool paintjob on it. Color all over. Different colors. The lot!
But how do you it? All you artsy people out there - what's the easiest method? What methods to better leave to a professional? What tools do you use? What are the common mistakes to avoid?
What paints can be used on foam? Will the laps still stick to it? Is it possible to draw very fine lines that will still be fine lines after glassing/sanding/polishing etc?
Has all this been asked before and I'm too stupid to find the answers?
Many thanks, Max
