Painting my snowboard?

Question

so my bro-in-law gave it to me and i'm not down with the design on it. i want my husband to make it white and do a design he made but how do we go about doing this?

Answer 1

Are you talking about the top or the bottom of the board?

Answer 2

Well it won't necessarily stay on the board, but if you want to give it a try, I'd recommend automotive paint. First you need to prepare the surface of the board by sanding it to rough up the finish and allow the paint to stick. Don't use too high of a grit of sandpaper though as the final sanding or the paint won't be smooth. Use a good wet/dry sandpaper for the final sanding, 1500 grit would do pretty well. Use a good primer, paint, then clear coat. Talk to someone at an auto body paint store.

Answer 3

The biggest problem getting paint to stay on a snowboard is the amount of flex when you are riding - it will crack the finish and it will come off. There may be some spray polyurethane paints that are flexible enough to withstand the flexing of a snowboard. Prepare, prime and paint according to the instructions of the best flexible paint you can find and cross your fingers.

Good Luck
