Longboard repaint

[diluzio91]

So after a terrible accident involving gravel, a curb, and an extremely lucky bail on my part, my longboard paint job was scratched and scuffed beyond repair... SO i busted out my good old sanding block and went to work.

Here's the stock paint job for this board

And I sanded it down and masked off my design, which i then painstakingly cut out with an exacto knife.

And the tape comes off, not lookin too bad i guess. Just a little bit of bleed on it. It kind of adds to the effect in all honesty.

Very cool. My buddy repaired and repsrayed a longboard this summer. It was awesome! I'll have to bug him about pictures. He broke it again though... so it's dead. :(

haha...good weather and long drying times have delayed this project a little, but i want to make sure its 100%cured before i sand it and do the final layer with wiping varnish.

Nice!

Most of my repaints have just been geometric shapes... For my speed board I tore the grip tape into pieces and put them on the board leopard style... (looking for a photo now...)

EDIT: Those wheels look dodgy to me... How do they ride?

[diluzio91]

Don't have em. I'm riding on Zombie Hawgs 76mm with an 80a Duro

My new Trucks! I need some harder bushings though. these are way too soft even when i crank it down.
