awesome. i 1st did this design on the 1 that hd the rainbow. almost same style as urs did it all in orange and did not like the way it looked. in black looks sick.

that's pretty tight.
do you need a special kind of ink/pen/paint for the boards so it stays on properly?

[jonathansurfero]

some pple will tell u to use posca pens (water based) the thing is that it washes out if u dont seal it well.
i use sharpie and sprays. both oil based. some pple will tell u sharpies suck because they bleed but use it to ur adventage. if it bleeds u can mix colors and stuff.
before applying the paint (specially the zones that u ll be spraying) lightly sand it with 400 sanding paper. the oil sharpie is bullet proof. even if u dont sand or gloss i strongly doubt it ll wash away. i made a mistake while painting and was like meh i ll clear it later with acetone. once it s dried forget it. i had to sand to erase the thing. once the pain is finished (the whole thing) spray some gloss over it for a smoother finish

i use sharpie paint it works better than the regular sharpie

[jonathansurfero]

heres the last art on my 2 imagine. this is the top of the board that has the rainbow.
sry corran changed ur logo a little bit. the logo went off when i sanded lol i thaught it would be under the 1st layer of fiberglass but was under the hot coat. that aint bad casue the art would have hidden the logo . well heres the board! it has been done with sprays and with ketchup to do the white inside effects!
