Painting An Angels & Airwaves Skateboard

[TipoItaliano]

okay seriously bro.. how much do you want for the blink 182, AVA, and box car racer boards? and if they're not for sale, how much do i have to pay you to make me those 3 boards? amazing..

[sumblinkfan]

@TipoItaliano haha, legally I'm not allowed to sell them or others with those logos. However, if you follow the instructional videos I've provided, you'll find that they are pretty easy to make yourself

[TheSmurfyyScene]

How did you get the big AVA sticker? :)

[sumblinkfan]

@TheSmurfyyScene I made it out of Inkjet labels. I printed out the logo onto three full sheet labels (8.5" x 11"). The labels have an adhesive quality once you pull off the backing. I taped the three pages together to get full size logo seen in the video. I layed down a base coat of white. Placed the sticker down. Sparyed over it. And removed it to get the design. (same thing is done with the little planes)

[frankenstein1343]

Holy shit, you are rediculousy impressive

[TenderBeefyAngus]

This is so amazing :') great job!!!

[sumblinkfan]

@TenderBeefyAngus thanks

[bigbangskaters]

love it



[izraelhoppuz]

la voy a hacer algun diA ME DAS LOS PASOS

[sumblinkfan]

@izraelhoppuz cut out stickers for the design. lay down a white base coat. place AVA sticker. spray black. place planes. blend black, brown, orange, and off-white. pull up stickers. add details. spray clear coat. i realize you asked in espanol, but hopefully this helps

[festustoad]

I swear that's proffetional. i got to start doing stuff like that

[23TokioHotel]

such a bummer i know. :/

[23TokioHotel]

this is what makes me wanna skateboard! im a girl and my parents dont want me to cause they see all these other accidents on youtube :/

[SubOrNub]

Pro



[BattlingPancake]

You make me want to take up skateboarding again.

[DIYbyTIM]

looks like it came out of the sk8 shop,very nice job dude!

[TheYoplaid]

Really nice job dude ;)

[12monkey123]

where do you get your blanks? :) this is amazing btw :)

[sumblinkfan]

@12monkey123 i used to sand down the designs on crappy boards, but most recently i got two white dipped blanks from amazon. they seemed to be good quality and were only about $17 each.

[12monkey123]

@sumblinkfan thank you so much! do you mind if i try this on one? :)

[sumblinkfan]

@12monkey123 not at all, in fact, i encourage it

[12monkey123]

@sumblinkfan you're god, dude :)

[zeked52]

wow... amazing



[sumblinkfan]

I created a page for skateboard painting on Facebook (Official Skateboard Painting). Please "Like" it and help me make it complete with photos, videos, and discussions. Link in description.

[TaylorFussner]

that thing is sick

[MrMurdok2]

i lke your skate :)



[neverskankyfan282]

hey two questions: you wont be offended if i try to do this right?? and second, the board i wanna do already has a design on it, could i just paint over it?

[MitchTheMad96]

@neverskankyfan282 i know from past experiences of designing my own board that its SOO much better if you take the design off :) using sandpaper is probably the best way :) just saying :P

[sumblinkfan]

@neverskankyfan282 i have no problem with you using this design. i made the video to share my ideas with others to try and improve the techniques used. i've never just painted over an old design, so i'm not sure how it'll work for you. i would recommend that if you do just paint over it, maybe try giving it a layer of primer or a solid color first. and yeah i would highly recommend sanding it, if you don't mind

[neverskankyfan282]

@neverskankyfan282 alright thanks man... ya ive sanded the whole thing.... i might post a video response to this video its the pill blink 182 design that i want to do

[sumblinkfan]

@neverskankyfan282 sounds good

[qaerth]

Wow verry nice thanks for the help awesome work man !!!

[MitchTheMad96]

AMAZING JOB

would die to own a board like that :D

keep up the awesome work :D

[LjTatz2Sk8]

How good do painter markers work on the board?or are decos better?

[sumblinkfan]

@LjTatz2Sk8 i only used the paint pens over top of spray paint, but they work pretty well. i haven't used decos before so i'm not sure which is better

[danielmathias433]

please tell me you dont skate that?!?! awesome job!

[sumblinkfan]

@danielmathias433 i don't, it's hanging on my wall, and thanks

[lewisgreg981]

Forgot to put this in this isn't one of the videos and awesome results :D

[lewisgreg981]

I don't mean to be a dick but most of the "how to paint skateboard videos" people use crap paint. :|

[TheTenaciousTim]

If I ever find out where you live, I'm going to kidnap you and force you to paint things for me. These Blink, AVA, and BCR boards are amazing.

[sumblinkfan]

@TheTenaciousTim haha, i've been seriously considering making another blink board and putting it on ebay, that wouldn't be until next summer though, (if i end up doing it at all), the only thing i'd be worried about is the fact that the design is most likely copyrighted and i'd be selling it without permission

[TheTenaciousTim]

@sumblinkfan call up Tom Delonge and be like "hey make a deal with me so i can sell these boards. we can mass produce them and i'll give you (insert % here) of the profits." and he'll be like "oh well alright man i mean i need the money cause im broke and depressed and spent all my money on pain killers!" (in classic tom voice)

[sumblinkfan]

@TheTenaciousTim haha, that would be awesome, but i feel like he wouldn't see it the way you do. he's probably got more money than he knows what to do with and is pretty busy with ava, blink, and all the other projects and companies he's involved with. maybe i'll send him a link to the video and ask about mass production and see if anything happens...

[military4life1]

That's good dude

[stereolinepodcast]

Very impressive man. Normally I don't like commenting on peoples vids unless its really good.

[MentallyGuitared]

dude that is amazing!

[Tyris1013]

Have a question, what if you want to paint the letter's a different color after you peel it off and after the main background color is already put? Do you put around protection around the letters so the background doesn't get's messed up?

Won't he protection stick up to spray paint?

[Tyris1013]

@Tyris1013 nvm, I was way to tired.. Guess I'll paint the background red first, add the letters, and paint black.

Another question, won't that add extra weight to the skatebord? heard talk that painting wheels/trucks does that?

[sumblinkfan]

@Tyris1013 i'm sure that anytime you add paint the board will get heavier. if possible, sand off any extra layers of paint or graphics you don't plan on showing

[Tyris1013]

@sumblinkfan Cool, thanks for answer me. It will be my first time painting a board. My zero is pretty trashed, and I'm planing on remaking into Zero logo across the board with skull on the end, the pain is read so I could paint red color where the letters are supposed to go, and black afterwards. Planning on using stick paper.

Only if I knew where to look for logos for sk8 painting.

[sumblinkfan]

@Tyris1013 like google images? i usually copy and paste the image into microsoft paint, edit what i need to and print it on the inkjet labels (sticky paper)

[adamsblinker]

the sickest board ever

[Flameyboii]

Sick bro but how did u get tht thing to stick down ?

[sumblinkfan]

@Flameyboii it's an inkjet label, one side is sticky once you peel up wax paper

[SkLzSWAGGTaSTic]

Wow this is amazing..

[shoes919]

i think this is the best board u have made

[sumblinkfan]

@shoes919 thanks, it's definitely one of the better ones

[bulletistheway]

@sumblinkfan how much for one just like this one

[sumblinkfan]

@bulletistheway i don't really know, i'm not planning on selling any at this point in time, but i have thought about making a few for ebay just to see what they're worth

[shoes919]

i think this is ur best board uve made

[wanyeization]

DOOOCHBAG..........I SLAPED MYSELF BECAUSE I LOOKED SO GOOD

[MegaDrolletje]

do you sell itt?

[sumblinkfan]

@MegaDrolletje at this point in time it's not for sale

[xxxXHUGXxxx]

LOL I was about to post you should have left it alone at 1:15, but then I looked at the comments and it stopped me.

Great Job Bro :D

(I really didn't think it would come out lO.oking like that)

[MapleFTWStory]

Did you let the white and black dry befor yo put th stickers on it?

[sumblinkfan]

@MapleFTWStory yes, if it's not completely dry they'll stick to the paint and not peel up cleanly

[csigirl12]

Beautiful, really well done (:

[unodosdaphne]

omg you're totally amazing dude (:

[MrMastersk8er]

that was sick you must sell one of them for big prices.............

[enik1988]

thats just amazing!!!!!!!!!

[MezSugamaddi]

sweet your awsome at doing this you should sell them i would play $200 for a blick 182 to one or sum 41 :D sick work

[ScytheLockMedia7057]

You should make another one for Tom Delonge and see if you can send it to him. He would flip at the awesomeness of these boards

[sumblinkfan]

@ScytheLockMedia7057 that's a sweet idea

[ScytheLockMedia7057]

@sumblinkfan you just gotta find a way to get to him that or send a board to Mr Hoppus

[morson93]

You do realise you could be selling these boards for big bucks? there awesome!

[dialymen]

this videos inspired me to do my own board but from sex pistols :P

[sumblinkfan]

@dialymen that's what i like to hear

[sumblinkfan]

@11squiggy they're home-made stickers, i bought full sheet inkjet labels at Office Max and printed out the stickers, then cut them out. I've been painting boards for a little over a year, i think this is the seventh that i've done

[vipero9005]

Beautiful! :)

[nuttyking8]

thats awsome dood i tried to paint myne but it came out looking like shit haha

[DtsProjects]

That's really good man. I'm really curious to know though. Did you get any orangepeel? (bumpiness) How long did you wait in between coats? Did you just switch colors when the paint was still wet? I really like your board. It looks really profressional!

[sumblinkfan]

@DtsProjects i didn't really give the paint any time to dry i was just grabbing different colors and spraying one over the other trying to blend the colors, no bumps though

[Treyzusaur]

Awesome job, dude. Seems like you should mount this on your wall or something, but you've gotta get out and skate it.

[markrstill1]

looks windy during the video

[sumblinkfan]

@markrstill1 i think i picked one of the windiest days of the week to work on it, it was like the only chance i had for a while so i just went for it

[sumblinkfan]

@ExtremXGames Heaven by AVA

[ArmyofUglyAnon]

I wish I had talent like this

[Hakosukaa]

[XxLikeFing3rSk8xX]

[nevaGiveUp100]

[slvrvolcomstone]

[megalakers]

[ey55maan]

Best one yet, keep going!

[1halfgodV2]

[RuppKw]

This board turned out amazing! The background for the AVA logo is what really blew me away; Can't wait to see it in person.
