Surfboard Makeover Using Spray Paint
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 10. 2020
- Giving the paint design of the first board I ever shaped a makeover using spray paint. I cleaned the board with a wax comb, Sticky Bumps wax remover and acetone. I sanded with 220 grit sandpaper to help the spray paint stick to the board. I used 80 grit sandpaper to remove the original paint design and then applied a new layer of 4oz fiberglass with laminating resin and then sealed it with sanding resin. Sanded with repair patch with 220 grit sandpaper and then made the new paint design with Liquitex acrylic spray paints. Lastly I used a gloss clear acrylic spray paint to seal the paint.

This isn’t only helpful but entertaining u earned yourself a sub! Keep up the work
🤙
That was fun to watch, thank you, beautiful board!!!
🤙
This turned out great thanks for the detailed description too, thinking about doing this to an old board!
Thanks man, go for it!
ThankU, I have 3 old surf boards, that are hung and around my pool area for deco purposes only, they are sun beat and needs an uplift, this gave me at least a base line on how to up cycle and bring them back to life
Glad to hear it!
Looks great. I'm getting into shaping, slowly, since my wife won't let me buy new boards due to the price and your chan is really helpful. I'll be buying my first blank soon through greenlight since I'm in NJ so I'll use your link!
Awesome man! I appreciate the support. That’s one of the reasons I got into shaping myself. Let me know how the board turns out. Good luck!
sharp paint job, looks nice. Like a lime wedge XD
The videos are getting better and better, keep up the good work, really helpfull and enjoyable, love it!
Thanks for the feedback! 🤙
you have a methodical approach that is pleasing. keep doing things.
🙏
So satisfying
Awesome!!
Flippin awesome
Great work as always!
Its as helpful, as its great to watch. Solid job man !! Keep. It. Up.
Thanks, will do!
I’m prpainting my twin tip kitesurf board now. Great video!
Looks great. The commentary is awesome.
Thanks man appreciate the feedback 🤙
Nice work bruv!
SICK!!!
I liked the 90s style of the first design
Looks great🤘🏾
Thanks Ben!
Not bad ,thanks for sharing
wow so much work but great job and I learned a lot, thanks man
Nice!!
Sick man
🤙
I’m 53 and just got back into surfing I had minor heart surgery anyway I got back into shape than the heart crap showed up but I got the ok recently back to 100 percent now my kids are older and I have a little time , I want a new board but with 4 kids there’s always something your helping them with but I have a few older boards one al merrick channel bottom I loved I’m gonna do this to it I can’t wait now that I see it can be done thanks for the video
Right on man! That’s great to hear your back to health and getting in the water again. I’ve got 3 kids myself. Best of luck!
you have a super talent
Thanks! 🙏
Looks good bro 💪🤙🤙
Thanks man🤙
Parabéns brother gosto muito do seu trabalho ficou muito boa a pintura.Aloha
Obrigado cara!
dark green with white rocks. the lighter on top, so so! :)
I'm gonna contact this guy and have him make me a board he does sick work!
🤙 just a hobby but appreciate to positive feedback!
Amazing job! I would like to ask you if is it possible to give an hot coat after the spry painting. Thanks!
I haven't tried it myself because I didn't want to add the extra weight of an additional resin layer. But as long as your using acrylic spray paints and not oil based, it should work. Lots of guys do airbrush work on the foam blank before lamination. They key is water based paints. If you try it out, let me know how it goes!
Nice video! Consider diamond patches for broken area. Square edges introduce weak point for future break point.
🤙
I’m not saying this in a bad way but doesn’t his board look like an avocado😅😂🤣😆😆
Heck yeah man! 🥑 I love avocados!
The surfocado scores points in my book!
i really wanted a board but cant afford one :< that so cool
try looking for a used board online, maybe Craigslist or eBay has member feedback ratings. Heck, as long as you have a friend with you to meet up, maybe see if someone has a board they’re willing to part with for practically nothing...you’d probably want like a 6’4-7’6 egg or fun board to start. around 20-21.5” wide and 2.5-2.75” thick ...some surf shops sell their old soft top boards after they’re done using them for lessons as well
I'm planning on spray painting mine soon, and after some testing on random surfaces I had some doubts.
How long should you wait to apply the acrylic varnish to seal the paint?
When I used as much paint as you did I would get dripping and a thicker layer of paint after drying. Are those a problem or should I not be shy about how much paint to use?
Wait until the previous coat has dried. Try doing thinner coats and more of them to avoid the drips.
🤙 ficou zerada perfeita 🏄♂️
Brigado!
The board looks brand new after that spray
Hi love your videos! Do you sand or do anything to the gloss clear acrylic spray paint seal at the end for finish? Or do you just leave it? Thanks!
Just spray and then your done!
Great job! I am so looking forward to paint my board, which clear coat do you recommend? Thanks so much
Thanks a lot !!! Did a nice design on one of my old board that was seriously turning yellow. Sanded it with 220 grit, put three layers of spray paint, three layers of varnish, and although it was my very first time using spray paint, it turned out great !
Now I'm wondering : if I ever need to unwax it, to replace the pad or just clean it, is it risky to use a wax comb on the said varnish ? I guess at least acetone is forbidden now
I haven’t had any issues scraping off and reapplying wax. As long as you’ve got a good seal coat over your paint
@@BendheimBoards Thanks ! Good to know !
There is something called sticky bumps was remover it is super good for removing wax in the future
I used it! Look at the 30 sec mark and I’ve got it in my hand. 🤙
Hey man sick video, I just got a pretty gnarly ding repair and was looking to do something similar on my eps/epoxy board. Would you recommend the same acrylic based paints you used? thanks bra
Yup! Works for both.
Loving your videos thanks - I'm really struggling to find an expoxy sanding resin for an eps board, any suggestions? cheers
Sweet video. I am trying to fix a board of mine and I was planning on repainting the board. This video was perfect. Just a quick question, what paint to you recommend? And is it always a good idea to reglass before painting?
If the board is in good condition, you can just sand it with 220 so that the paint sticks better. No need to do any more than that. Check out my other spray paint video as an example. Use acrylic paints or water based paints rather than oil based.
@@BendheimBoards I think I went a little deep on the sanding. But thank you so much. And I will
I liked it best raw with its battle wound
🤙
Hey! I recently bought a board and did almost everything you did. I’m planning on adding stickers to it but unsure on what to use for the final coat? Should I use resin or gloss coat spray paint?
Good question. What is the board made out of?
Have you ever done a hot coat over the spray paint? I’ve tried twice to put PU sanding resin over the liquitex spray paint (waited 2 days to make sure it was dry) and it bubbled the paint both times below the resin. The spray coat works for me but it still doesn’t quite feel the same as a resin coat. Curious if you’ve ever been successful with it.
Hi! I am building a Stand UP Paddleboard . Can I apply the acrylic spray on top of the epoxy resin and later apply another epoxy resin layer on top of the paint ?
If you were planning to do a gloss coat then go for it, otherwise the extra layer of resin will add more weight to the board you could avoid by just sealing it with a clear coat spray. Or just starting the build, you could spray directly onto the foam blank before lamination.
@@BendheimBoards ok man ! thank you !
Hey mate! Just done painting my old board following the same steps and was wondering how long terms this is, will the paint hold up or will it slowly just come off due to the salt water ? cheers mate!!
Not sure how long, but this is still holding strong, surfed it this morning. Same with my others. The salt water won’t take it off. Just give it a good seal coat and it should last the life of the board.
I was wondering the same as I’m just about to spray my old yellowed board as I can’t stand how ugly it looks now it’s discoloured (like old teeth!) I just don’t want it to chip, scratch and peel too quickly. Hopefully I’ll get a new board before that happens and I can stick the painted one on the wall 😂 Great tutorial. I can’t wait to get started 😍
Question- should you always use resin to seal or can you use acrylic clear coat sealer?
When there is already a hot coat, spray paint sealer is probably best to seal your paint to keep it lighter
How has this held up over time? I just got s brand new board and they colored it the wrong color... thinking of spraying it myself.
Still holding strong!
I have a board I love but the paint job is meh. Its only the deck and I'm thinking of painting it white but Im worried on how long it will last. How is yours holding up after 2 years? Is there a second more permeant option to spray paint?
Does the spray for painting have to be acrylic or can it be with solvent (normal spray)?
Water based spray paint is best and also can be applied to the foam and covered with resin. Oil based paints can’t be used on the foam and are more likely to crack over time if applied to a glassed board.
Hey great vid! sorry to sound like a noob here... were you spraying clear lacquer at the end?
Thanks! It’s a clear gloss acrylic spray paint to seal the paint.
nice video very helpful, what grit sandpaper should I use just to remove some paint or could I just use acetone to remove the paint?
Acetone will only work if the paint wasn’t sealed. You can start with 120 for removing paint and go lower if needed.
Do you recommend repainting a board? I’ve been told by a shaper that, with paint, the paintjobs on old boards really turn bad with time with all the paint starting to fall
Just a personal choice. If you do a good job, the paint can hold up. I just wanted to give this board a new look.
Great channel first of all. I got a Broken board, it is almost new yet it is really light but at the same time it feels really weak, i mean almost feels like it will break by looking at it. So here is my question is there a way to reinforce the whole board after fixing the broken part? I mean can i sand the whole thing and add an extra layer of fiber glass, top and bottom, with epoxy resin over the polyester resin? Would that work? Or should I just take all the glass off and re-laminate? Thanks!
It’s a ton of work either way but if you want to put in the time, yes you can strip it and refiberglass or you can sand down and add another layer of fiberglass. It will add some weight with the extra layer. You can put epoxy over poly resin but I try to stick to the same material the board was made of.
The prep work fro the bottom side, what sand paper grit did you use and how deep did you go? just scuff the surface, or deeper than that? Cheers
Probably 80 grit. Sand enough to remove the hot coat layer since I reapplied it
Hey, do u think it’s a good idea for me to put another layer of fiber glass to one board of mine that I made specific for me but the material they used to make the board was kinda weak?!?
It’s hard to answer man, lots of variables. But if you do so, your going to need to do a lot of sanding and really prep the board well to add another layer. For a shortboard, you should have at least two layers of 4oz cloth on the deck and one on the bottom.
I loved it!
I have one question: why do you use two types of masking tapes for the same line (at 6:40 in the video)? Are they special types of masking tapes?
Thanks! Yes the green tape is a more expensive high quality masking tape you can get from an auto parts store. It works better with paints and resins to prevent bleed through and left over residue. The tan tape is just your basic commercial masking tape. I use that for the other areas so I don’t have to waste the expensive stuff.
@@BendheimBoards Thanks a lot!!
Just a random question could you add a top coat of resin instead of spray on clear coat? Just to give it that high gloss look? I know that’s not what you were going for. would that work on an old board that’s been sprayed over?
You could but it would add more weight
is that gonna come off after being in the water all the time? why did you do resin to cover the paint initially, and now this acrylic sealer? do you sand the gloss coat after at all?
No it will last. I did acrylic spray this time because it’s lighter than adding a layer of resin to the entire board. And it’s less time consuming. No, I didn’t sand the clear coat.
Great job m8. I have a question. What is that green "tape" you used to pretect that center line of the board?
It’s just thin tape made for stringers or pin lines. Greenlight sells them on their website if you want to use my affiliate link: greenlightsurfsupply.com/tbendheim
@@BendheimBoards thx bro
Great video! Congratulations.
Can I ask you if any paint could be used? For example car paint or sinthetic paint for metals?
Its best to use acrylic paints
@@BendheimBoards thank you!
this is so cool im 11 and we have a guy on our island oak island NC who is from Hawaii he makes boards and surfs all the time he is 60 so soon he might not be able to make boards or teach kids how to surf (he teaches kids cuz he hates adult surfers attitudes lol) i wanna get into making boards this idea is so cool. I think its a greenhouse? keep up the good work
Right on man! That’s great that you want to start making boards at your age. Shadow that guy and have him help you get started. Best of luck!
@@BendheimBoards yeah he is making one rn for me I have a 9 ft Stewart longboard that was so so so kindly given to me and he is making a 7ft 9 board I love it so much I've only been surfing two months but the long is from 97 and ready to break so its time for a new one I got a wetsuit and I have two brothers so when it came to softball I had to get neutral stuff but my brothers have 0 interest in surfing so I can make it however I want
That’s awesome, no better feeling than getting a new board. Especially when it’s custom shaped. Glad you have to stoke!
Looks amazing and what's the tunes ?
good job. I have couple of old boards that I want to refresh with a splash of paint. Is that clear coat resistant to wear or would I need to respray it once in a while? Thanks.
I’ve only done a few boards so time will tell. Should be fine though, I haven’t had any issues.
@@BendheimBoards i was thinking maybe a 2k clear coat would be even more durable.
@@marcass100 Let me know how it goes, good luck man!
@@BendheimBoards thanks dude. Colours and clear coat ordered now so will let you know after a weekend.
Was that board broken in half or just buckled? If so and i know you like to use the same material the board was made, do you recommend using polyester resin to bond two pieces of a board? Or it is better with epoxy and then glass with poly? Thanks
It was buckled. I think your confusing epoxy resin with eps foam. Epoxy isn’t a foam material. Always match the boards original construction.
@@BendheimBoards hehe no i know it is a resin. I was just confused about which one of the two resins is a stronger adhesive. Thanks
@@Cuisinenomade1 epoxy is stronger but I wouldn't use it on a polyester board
Hi, I have a quick question,if I was to spray paint a epoxy board would it work if I did a clear coat afterwards rather than just spray with acrylic sealer?? Cheers
Yes it will just be a little heavier if you use resin instead of spray paint to seal it. And just be sure the spray paint is water based acrylic.
Cheers Tanner!
Hey tanner, I’m in a bit of a predicament. Long story short, I did a lam, and decided to spray paint without seal coating first. do you think I need to put a clear coat (spray paint) on before an epoxy rein seal coat? Or rather, do you think a seal coat of epoxy resin alone will bond to the spray paint/fiberglass on the initial lam with no issues ?
Or did I totally f this up. My resin pin lines leaked and destroyed the finish. sanding it and Painting seemed like the best, quickest option but the entire time I was questioning whether I should seal coat first and then paint and clear coat.
Hi, I got a Softtop board But I can paint thé back, I was wandering what I could use as topcoat to make my painting waterproof
Not sure, I’ve never done a softtop. For fiberglass boards you seal your paint with a clear coat of spray
What was the little contraption you used when outlining where you wanted to tape off for the rails? Thanks in advance and great vid!
Rail marker from Foam EZ
Sweet, thanks again!
hi can you tell what type of masking tape you use? thanks
also I'm curious about the in glass stickers, how to do make them? what type of paper? thanks a lot
For the resin drip I use Indasa yellow masking tape or green automotive tape. For the spray paint I use commercial grade masking tape (cheaper than the others). You need the high quality tape for the resin drips otherwise the sticky residue will get on your board. For logos, use rice paper and just print directly onto it from your computer printer.
@@BendheimBoards thanks a lot! I had hard time finding rise paper..im in England.. btw I saw you're gonna make a noseride.. I made a video on shaping my noserider..I'd like your judge when you have a minute! Thanks bro!
Shoot me the link to your video and I’ll check it out 🏴

What is name of the tool you used to make that outline with the pencil for the rails?
Marking gauge: www.foamez.com/product/e-z-marking-gauge/
7:39 what are you using here? And when you finnish painting all, thats all? No fiber glass or nothing? Ready to use?
clear gloss coat spray to seal the paint. Yup, ready to surf!
Hi i have a question, i’m gonna repaint my board but i was wondering if it’s necessary to put on a new layer of fiberglass after removing the old paint with the 80 grit sandpaper?
No, as long as you don't sand into the fibergalss cloth and expose the weave you'll be fine. If you do expose the weave in a few spots, just paint on a little resin and then sand flat, then move onto painting. Fiberglass gives strength so as long as your board's integrity is still good, no need to add more layers.
Great Makeover, I think it turned out pretty cool!
2 questions:
- Did you felt the board a bit heavier since you painted all of its surface? Or you didnt felt any difference at all? (I wonder if it affects the surfboard performance)
- Does the paint comes out easily after a while? Or we dont have to worry about the painting coming out at all after we gloss spray it?
thank you!
Thanks man. It probably added a little weight but not enough for me to worry about or tell a difference in performance. The gloss coat seals the paint to help it last. So far so good!
There are several areas on my 20 yr old 9'2" rails that are becoming dangerously close to cloth. Also there are many, many ding repair areas also on the rails, nose and tail. I have been told that it wouldn't be a bad idea to sand and apply a new coat of sanding resin along the rails, nose, and tail. If I were going to do this, I intend to hide the ugly with a color rail band. Sherwin Williams says they could exact match a color that is on the deck of the board in acrylic if I were to bring it to them. It's that or totally different color with spray paint. The questions are these: Can I apply a coat of sanding resin over the paint without some type of bad reaction or do I need a certain type of paint? Also, any type of spray paint or specific type that would work best? Just need to make sure. Thanks
Always use water based paints with resin. Adding resin adds weight, doing a clear spray is less weight
How many cans of paint did you have to use for each different color? I'm trying to do the same with my board but don't know how much paint to buy
Less than a can per color. Do multiple thin coats. You can't tell since its sped up but that's what I did.
looks great...what clear coast did you use?
a Krylon clear acrylic gloss spray
Did you ride the board since you painted it? Do you need another coat to keep paint on?
I don’t ride this board often but the other channel island board I spray painted I’ve used a ton without any issues
Would the paint add weight to the board?
Also, what kind of spray paint did you use and what was the last spray you used?
He commented to another saying acrylic.
Not enough weight to notice the difference. Acrylic spray paints and a final clear coat to seal it.
Great tutorial! It would be helpful if you shared what products you were using😊
also does it have to be acrylic sealant or can it be polyeurethane?
dude this is sick, i just subbed, do u sell boards too?
not yet, but i'll let you know if I do. Thanks for the support!
I tried painting my board last year, and I had so much with bubbling on the rails.....did I do something wrong?
Make sure you sand it first so the paint has something to adhere to. Use acrylic paint and not oil based. And seal it with a clear coat.
What is this tool that you use to display the rail distances?
Could you share what kind of sanding discs you are using, and where you get your sanding discs ( in US)
Thanks!
They are flex pads that I got at Foam EZ. Also sold by Greenlight and shaper supply
Just wondering what is the tool you used to draw the rail line ?
Rail marker from Foam EZ
Looks like a Sprite can!
what was the purpose of the spray paint you put on the surfboard at the end? and also what kind of spray paint was it called because i am thinking of doing this
It was a clear coat to seal the paint. Use any acrylic spray paint since they are water based.
Hello, may I ask you how many gloss clear acrylic spray did you use? Is it a 6", righ? When I've painted mine I used 2 bottles of spray paint (all blue). It seems too much.. 400 ml each. Anyway, really beautifull work, congrats! and thankz for the vid
Thanks man! I used a little less than 1 can. The can is 11oz.
@@BendheimBoards thanks, dude
did you use just any acrylic paint spray? or is there something more specific :)
Yup that’s it, whatever brand you can find.
Hi Tanner! Why do you put that transparent layer before painting? And if I want it more shiny, what I need to do?
Great gob! Greetings from Perú
By transparent layer, I’m guessing you mean the hot coat? That was to seal the fiberglass. I used a gloss spray paint to help give it more shine 🤙 🇵🇪
Fala meu camarada blz ? Marcinho aqui do rio de janeiro , me amarro nos vídeos , tenho uma oficina aqui na usina no bairro da tijuca, eu fico babando com os materiais gringos, se morassemos próximos iria fazer aquele modelinho da lost Potato junto com vc, tambem tenho uns vieozinhos, vlw abçs !!!
Legal cara. Amo o Rio. Visitei lá em 2012. Somos abençoados aqui em Califórnia por tendo muitos matérias locais. Obrigado por comentar!
How many cans of acrylic paint do you need for a standard 5”11? Cheers
Probably a little more than one cans. I’d get two
Does the clear acrylic spray need to be water based as well?
Yes
hey Tanner, to you believe a spray like this lasts long with everyday use? what are your thoughts on that?
If you do a good job prepping before with sanding and then sealing it, it should last. Give it a go!
@@BendheimBoards nice! ill try on an old board and learn from it. after ill move to painting my daily surfboard! thanks!!
@@quimlima Let me know how it goes!
@@BendheimBoards just started repairing the old board. will (if the repairs goes right...) be paing it over the weekend. i’ll keep im touch!
Hey Tanner, here's a link to how it came out. In the end it came better than I expected. For this kind of repair/painting I believe next time I will approach it differently: I will sand down the whole top coat of the resin, apply nautical paint and re-resin it over. What do you think?
imgur.com/35XIXiA
What liquid did you use to clean the wax off the board?
Sticky bumps wax remover and acetone
how long until you can use it after remaking it like that?
as soon as the paint dries
This is awesome! Although I have a question, will the paint not chip off, for example on the sand,wipeouts rocks and on top of the car placements?
I’m thinking about doing this but I’m worried that it will come off easily over time
Hasn’t been a problem for me, just seal it with a clear coat. Rocks of course would ruin any paint job. Just take care of it and you should be good.
Hi
I really appreciate your work. I will have a small question in the medallion we see a small blue board I would like to know is it a bodyboard?
Otherwise thank you for sharing your work
French friendship
Thanks man. It’s a paipo which can be ridden standing up or as a body board. Here is the video of me making it: czcams.com/video/qk4TmupteLM/video.html
Yes I saw this video of the transformation, a little question the drifts you put them to how much of the tail? Thanks in advance
The fin boxes are about 5” up from the tail
