Hey all,
Been teaching my 14 YO son some paint skills over his summer vacation. He had been spraying skateboards with spray cans and wanted to step up using BC/CC materials and equipment. Figured I'd post some of his work as inspiration to those who might be doubting the possibility of doing their own body and paint.
Here's a couple of his boards. BTW he did all the work from raw wood to clearcoat. He also made the decals shown by grabbing the bitmap off the web, doctoring them in Photoshop, printing them on clear decal stock and applying them over basecoat and burying them in clearcoat. All clear/primers are SPI.
The board to the left was made to look like carbon fiber (black base over silver base). The other board was made to look retro. He also painted his minibike fenders and tank to match.
Here is the rear fender (body work, SPI epoxy, 2k primer, SW base in Cameo white) taped off for two tone
After paint and clear using Teckna Quickclean
Here is the tank (body work, SPI epoxy, 2k primer, SW base in Cameo white and '57 GM Turquoise) with Harley decals he printed applied. This is still in basecoat awaiting clear.
Another shot of fender and another project board he made to order.
He must be an old soul as he showed me this pick and wanted to mimic the look on his project..
Finally short
30) of the tank. I was floored by the finish. First time using the teckna. Clear is SPI Euro
might be a jumpy vid and slightly out of proportion.
Thanks
