Paint job time!

Dudes, I'm trying to figure out what I want my new LB to look like. It's going to be a 9' Single fin Performance LB. I was going to get the resin swirl thing done but then had second thoughts and have been looking at more classic looking boards. I'm having a hard time deciding... anybody got any pics they'd like to share of some ideas?

 

Thanks for the link Jim, some good looking boards!

 

Seen a few Takayama designs I like, a few Webber's too

 

Thanks DosXX, nice classic looking boards!

 

Here's a dumb question. Does gloss / polish affect the performance in any way? I can get it with resin swirl and everything for approx. $700. I just don't want to put fashion over function, but I do want my board to shine and look good for a long time.

 

Thanks, just wanted to make sure i'm not hurting the performance any. I appreciate the advice.

 

You're right, don't know why i'm waffling on all this, just don't wanna F it up i guess

 

Thanks guys, good feedback so far!

 

So I've narrowed it down to a hand full that I like. Which of these do you like most?

 

A few more

 

Thanks Mitchell, wasn't sure about that one myself, I like the two tone blue / white but not the yellow / red toward the tail. I'm kinda of leaning toward pinstripes or that blue / grey / black Takayama (1st one of the 2nd set of pics)
