Painting a Surfboard (Yellow Firewire Dominator 2): Beginner tutorial & painful lessons learned.

Описание: First time painting a surfboard and thought I'd do a tutorial based on the things I'd learned from doing it. Hopefully you can learn from my mistakes.

Most important part I learned, if you decide to go this route of spray paint your surfboard, was the painting was the hardest part. Especially since the spray paint could act so finicky, with the coating and timings. If I were to re-do it, I would definitely sprayed a lot lighter coats, and waited few minutes between each coats, like I did when I sprayed the deck of the board, I also wouldn't have sprayed the matte clear coat as heavy or done one less coat (3 instead of 4 to compensate).
