| i'm trying to find the best paint to use for base colors on skateboards. i'm already pressing boards in my garage and would be happy to share what i know and have incountered. i am spraying my base color on currently, but the paint i was recomended is oil based, it doesnt seem to have the right texture, or finish. i'm doing sealent first then paint, but with this paint i will have to sand and seal again. any u.s. products, or any products period you could recomend to me? |

| Do you stain any of your decks or just solid base colors? |

you can use two different methods:
#1 blank...spraypaintit-sandit-spraypaintit-sandit...done
#2blank...filler...sandit...spraypaintit...done
you have to figure out what's best for you.
and always stick to the same supplier in order to avoid nasty surprises,ok?? |

| i don't know if your asking don or i. but did as much as i could. i don't have a metal shop, so i had to pay someone to cut and do some fabrication. i bought a hydrolic bearing press from a tool store, but i built the moulds myself |

| Hey Primitave, this may be for another thread but do you have any pics of your setup? I'm interested to see your molds and press. Sounds pretty cool... |
