Painting a Surfboard Design in Hawaii

[rmoran113]

Beautiful art!!! I'm looking to paint some graphic art on bottom of my 17'6 bark sup to hide the 2 dagger fin boxes. Do you sand area first then clear when done?

Thx

[ColleenWilcoxArt]

@rmoran113 Yes definitely sand with fine sandpaper first and then spray with a clear coat when done. I will be doing a How To video soon. Thanks! :)

Did you put a cover on the board after you were finished painting on it. Have you surfed on it since? and does the paint stay on ok? Thanky you.

[ColleenWilcoxArt]

@RamonKH I always spray the boards with UV resistant acrylic clear coat, and yes that one has been surfed on regularly :) The designs hold up great in the water, as long as you make sure to spray a lot of coats before waxing it. Thanks for watching!

hello, which occupy markers to paint and draw on the surfboard. thanks

[MalikoDesigns]

@Andreeeeees1 They are called Posca Paint Pens- you can buy online

Nice video, that is a good idea of using your finger to blend the paint, it looks like it works really well, thanks for sharing your video

[span24]

Thanks for sharing! The blending is really cool! Is it a white posca pen or a kind of solvent/blender pen?

[MalikoDesigns]

@span24 Just a white pen...it blends pretty well but you have to work fast before it dries. Thanks for watching!

Hey pussycat, I really like the finger smudge technique.

Check out a few drew brophy vids, I reckon his style would really benefit from your finger smudge idea.

Love your work.... :)

[bdjennings]

A table would help?

[Iusefatgirls]

Great design I really like your shading technique. How do you clear it / what do you use?

[MalikoDesigns]

Thanks! You can use Acetone and Naptha to get the wax residue off (and acetone if you make a mistake). At the end I spray it with a clear acrylic spray

[lobelito]

what pens do you use?

AWSOME

[aarondkeogh]

Soooo beaut!!

[TannerGardner]

Your Soooooooo Coooooool!!! lol! Sicky Sweet yooo!

[MalikoDesigns]

They're called Posca Paint Pens and you can order them online if you can't find them locally. They are water-based and I'm not sure about the other ingredients because the writing is all in Japanese. I sprayed my board (the blue/green flower one in the beginning) with acrylic clear coat to seal it...so far it has stayed on for a month with the wax and sand and everything

[Znobishtucon]

Can we get the name of those pens again? Are they water-based or oil-based? Labeled permanent or waterproof?

[MrKris540]

Board is sick!!! Great work!!!

[Easy4]

Great video! Love the art, but I highly recommend you get some nitrile gloves if you are going to do that finger smearing of the ink, they are like latex gloves but much better. The ink contains solvents and toxins you definitely do not want and they are absorbed through the skin. -- Your Friendly Molecular Biology Scientist Who Did A Lot of Research on Chemicals.

You should get an air brush too. They're great for gradients, but avoid the cheesy 80's look.

Oh and your music is WAY louder than your speaking.

Its all about the paint pens, awesome work.
