so i really want to paint the top of my wakeskate its and 06 byerly, i know some people have done this before. <BR> <BR>any tips?

Over the grip tape? Or paint it, and then put on a sort of stenceled out grip?

tape the grip so you dont spray the grip. sand your board a bit to roughen it up and then spray paint. then you can put a clear polyurathane spray over it to give it gloss/

i did the same thing to the same board, i just taped up the grip and sprayed the sidewalls though... kinda half assed. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeskating.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23649&amp;highlight=byerly+lock" target="_blank">http://www.wakeskating.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23649&amp;highlight=byerly+lock</a>

yeah, i wanna do the sides, but i kinda wanna do something on the grip to, would i just have to cut the design i want out of the grip tape and then paint whatever i cut out?
