How to Paint Cornhole Boards!

[@sharig.5336]

Thank you for this! Can please share which exact outdoor spar polyurethane you used?

[@NicMckee]

What did you use for the circle, looked like some sort of stencil?

[@mr.walterswoodshop353]

Yeah I created some stencils using a vinly cutter to cut out some poster board so I can trace it easier. When I first started I just held a tape measer at the measurement and went around the circle. But having an 11" circle for the trim color and a 10" circle for the main color is very helpful

Can you please explain better or in more detail how you get the paint to not bleed over the edges of the vinyl? (Thank you for the video.)

[@mr.walterswoodshop353]

Yes, so after I put the vinyl on top of the painted areas, I do another thin coat of the same paint that is underneath the vinyl. It fills any gaps and seals the edges so the new color does not!

[@katherinepierson439]

Do you have a step by step guide especially for all the taping of the borders (no need for the stencils)? This went too fast to really see. Thanks!

[@mr.walterswoodshop353]

I just measure and tape 2 1/2 inches from the borders, Then after the first color is painted on, I then tape it at 2 inches so once the tape comes off, there is a 1/2 trim color next to 2 inches of the border color.

Do you ever get bleed through?

[@mr.walterswoodshop353]

Not with frog tape, and painting the extra coat of the color that is under the tape usually stops all the bleeding, occasionally there are minor touch ups, but when I was painting the logos without doing that extra layer before changing colors, I would have to do lots of touch ups for bleeing paints

What paint did you use?

[@geoandy]

This ^ _ any recommendation on the type paint used for the boards?

[@mr.walterswoodshop353]

Sorry for never replying until now, Most the time I just get typical house paint from lowes or home depot, Lowes does the exact colors of NFL teams so thats nice. I usually get either flat or eggshell sheet knowing that there will be a semigloss polyurethane on top!

​@@mr.walterswoodshop353 Is it a paint/primer combo or do you find primer just isn't necessary?

[@mr.walterswoodshop353]

@@robsaliski Most paint I use is paint and primer, but certain colors like orange, yellow, and red still take a ton of coats to cover, even with expensive paints, so that's why in the video the orange was done before the navy.
