    my board is pretty beat up, dings, delam, cracks and the nose broke off once so i decided to freshen it up with some paint

    looking at it now i meant for the colors to be switched around, but i'll live. the bottom is just black.

    Looks pretty sweet!
    What'd you use, what was you're process (if you don't mind me asking)?

    wasn't sure what kind of spray paint to use, it all seems to scrape off pretty easy so i hope the clear coat will hold it all together

    but i painted the top blue, taped off the parts that are blue now, and then painted the whole thing black. few coats of clear coat on top of it all. don't buy good tape cause it will take the paint off with it, i had to soak this tape in water to break up the adhesive a little.

    Nice. Its fun messing around with old boards like that. I hope you sanded the board before you painted it, or you may see it start to flake off under use.
