Hhheeeellllpppp!!!

youve got to first lightly sand the area where your painting and then after painting spray a few clear coats of acrylic

 

what about just if your using a nomal sharpie pen?

 

i have a true dumpster diver board that i found last summer...in a trash bin. Its a 6'8" T.Patterson that had loads of cracks and dings. I fixed them all this winter and now its an absulutly sound board. Perfect for hurricane swells. Only thing is that its yellow, really yellow, and white spots all over from the repairs. I need to spray the whole board first. I was thinking of copying Tom Curren's black beauty board.

 

I saw this in surfer magazine... But one thing you can do is just put dish washing soap on your board in some swirly patterns and what not, the just spray paint over it. The paint wont stick where the soap is, so when you hose it off, you end up with these nice organic swirly patterns. I've never done it before, but it looked pretty cool in the article.

 

Roll Dora style and use crayons for wax. Draw purty pictures of kitty cats and snakes.

 

I've been meaning to paint a wood flooring look on one of my boards. I think it'd look real good.

 

muchas gracias senor. im guessing you should use the water based ones correct?

 

I mean i guess that might work...but I've heard they fade pretty fast, probably want to just go with the water based paint pens

 

Hope this helps.. these are the 8 boards I've painted. Im about to do a few with paint pens also though.

Definitely use water base paint pens. Don't bother with anything else.

fixed

 

The first one is the best, but they're both really sick.

 

Thanks guys.. going to start doing some new stuff though. Broaden my horizon

 

i use the oil base ones. just basic sharpie paint pens. the oil base ones give a good color swirl where as the water base pen kind of blur together, so it all up to you and the look your looking for. Also something i do, is to use POSCA paint pens, which are water base and have more of a matte color finish. sharpie's have a glossy dry look.

 

where do you get these sharpie paint pens?

 

i get mine at my local art store....but you can also go online and buy them
