What paint should I use to paint a surfboard????

Question

I have a surfboard that fell of the roof of a car and then I run over. !$*%$(*%! Painful. It's still in one piece! I do fiberglass work and am gonna fix it but I am not sure what the best paint to use would be. Any suggestions? It's gotta be able to hold up to wax and all.

Answer 1

If you are painting over the fiberglass regular old spray paint works fine.  If you are doing it under the glass use a water based paint so that you don't have any reaction between the solvent and the foam.

Check out the Shaper's Bay on Surfline.com.  There are a few topics on painting boards in it.

Answer 2

Check with your local surf shop.

Answer 5

Liner Polyurethane available at west Marine is great

It's water proof, UV resistant and adheres well to Fiberglass

It's used all the time on F/G boats.
