Custom Skateboard Graphics- Make Your Own
Posted by 5 on

- A skateboard to work on
- A small orbital sander (parental supervision required if grommet)
- Sand paper (280 grit, 480grit)
- A dust safety mask (worn when sanding and painting)
- Some clear spray paint or vanish
- Other items like coloured spray paint, paintpens, tape are up to you.
- Get some coarse sand paper (p280 grit) either on a sheet, or for a hand sander. Start anywhere and work your way around the board until the wood grain is visible. Then once you're done, get some finer sand paper (p480-p800 girt) and go over it again so the surface is optimal.
- Get some spray paint and either go a full coat so that nothing is visible underneath the paint, or spray it lightly over the top. With a light coat, you can make out the shapes underneath to be used for outlines.
- Get some ink and stain the wood
- Write some catchy phrases with tape and spray paint over it
- Cut out some stencils and make Bansky proud
- Pick up a lead pencil and sketch your ideal girl on to it
- Go full art-classy and start throwing paint around.
- Good ole deck varnish and paint on a couple of coats
- Get yourself some clear spray paint and cover the whole thing.

There you have it, your own rolling art piece. Now go forth and skate.
