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.

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?
