Hey mate, have you got a video explaining airbrushing a bit more, maybe where to start in terms of what compressor will be good for a backyarder, what paint to use, how to mix, clean the gear? Could be interesting.. love your work!

[@jim5549]

Sweet! Reminds me of my first board (factory pop out longboard of course from 1962!)

[@BendheimBoards]

Nice, I was going for that classic longboard look

[@jim5549]

@@BendheimBoards You nailed it. I like that look too. I restored that board for display in my living room (living alone has it's advantages lol)

Classic clean airbrushing job🤙I've sprayed many boards like that one but I'm more into fluo colours

[@Surfingsucks]

That’s gnarly I’d never thought I’d be sanding a board from KZbin, came into Bashams the other day, bout to sand it rn! Gonna look so rad!!

[@BendheimBoards]

Haha that’s awesome man! Mind blown you watched this before. Glad to hear it’s getting sanded! 🤙

[@Surfingsucks]

@@BendheimBoards small world haha! I just finished both of them today so they are ready!

[@BendheimBoards]

I’ll try to get around to it! Thanks!

[@Ghostrob2023]

That surfboard looks really cool, and I like the airbrushing job you did on it. I also your new logo as well.

[@garyh4458]

When you spray paint you should hold your gun perpendicular to the surface so that the "fan" hits the surface evenly. You have the gun at an angle so the bottom of the fan will be applying more paint than the top of the fan. Foam is forgiving so you are getting away with it here but it could lead to runs or overspray on a hard surface. Just a tip.

[@matthewbrunori2101]

looks good

Oh I would love a wing foilboard with that look.....

[@BendheimBoards]

Thanks Greg! I’ll have a look 🤙

[@TheAffrojutty]

Looks mint but I have a question…is there not a step where the painted surface meets the non painted surface?

[@robbeaton2178]

Did you end up glassing this with poly or epoxy resin? Have you run into any problems glassing with epoxy after airbrushing?

[@BendheimBoards]

I sent this one to a glass shop - poly resin. Its good to do a seal coat before laminating to prevent crystallization

[@ciwanicha]

@@BendheimBoards what do you use to seal coat?

[@Njsrufrider]

Should we be sanding the paint after to insure a good bond with the cloth?

[@BendheimBoards]

No, just move straight into glassing. Sanding would ruin the paint. The bond will be good as long as you use water based paints.

[@6to6surf4]

HI mate, how much roughly paint did you use for this board? cheers

[@stevehaggerty8697]

Great stuff. Who makes/prints your logos?

[@BendheimBoards]

I use boardlams. I used to print them myself in the past.

[@fontunetheteller410]

Is there such a thing as TOO much glass on a board? Could I paint on my existing board, and then glass over it for the best protection? Would that make the board way too rigid? Should I just paint over the glass and use a durable clear coat?

[@BendheimBoards]

Would make it heavy. Just paint over and then spray a clear coat to protect the paint. I’ve got some spray paint videos for reference

[@Coopuped]

Are the fin boxes typically routed after the spray or before?

[@BendheimBoards]

I’d say before so you don’t get the foam all over the new paint but either works. I did these after

[@coltonmaihen1884]

I have a question, so I read it’s easier to glass a board with no color pigment or anything, but I wanna make a board and add color and everything so this looks like an easy alternative. Can you just use regular spray paint on a foam blank and then glass over it? Thanks!

[@BendheimBoards]

Yes you can just use water based paints or acrylic paints. You can do spray paint or paint pens as well.

[@coltonmaihen1884]

@@BendheimBoards what is the true difference between putting a pigment in the resin and spray painting before? I know one is way easier, but Is there a noticeable difference as well?

[@BendheimBoards]

@@coltonmaihen1884 The difference is just how you explained it - one is sprayed onto the foam and one is in the resin. You can definitely tell the difference visually. Hard to explain in words though.

[@josephvargas7409]

Hey man, what setup are u using for the airbrush? Like all the tools involved

[@BendheimBoards]

California 2lb compressor and paasche air gun

[@artecolorsurf5373]

Fala meu camarada , tudo tranquilo , essa tinta que vc usou é a base de que ?

[@BendheimBoards]

e ai cara, eu uso createx paint

[@w.coast_piano6404]

Hey dude. Do you paint the board after it’s completely finished. Or do you paint it before the hot coat and then hot coat over it ??

[@WEEBER13]

Always before the hot coat

[@julikoker]

love it! what is the name of the soundtrack? it so good

[@BendheimBoards]

They are tracks from Artlist. I’ll have to go back and check the names

[@mattonm]

Is there a risk of delam from painting the foam or does the resin bind just as well?

[@ethereal.airbrush]

Nice. What do you clear coat it with?

[@BendheimBoards]

Fiberglass cloth and resin

[@felixp6428]

What Kind of Color do you use?

[@อติชาตถิ่นเกาะยาว]

Whic kind you paint bro?

[@BendheimBoards]

Createx paint

[@RedRussel]

Bro, you should have a separate paint room or at least mask out your stuff around the room with a masking film. You're gonna get overspray all over including the other boards. It's an expensive mistake I had last year.

[@BendheimBoards]

Thats part of the struggle of limited space!

[@RedRussel]

@@BendheimBoards tell me about it! What I did on mine was I bought a large tarp and hang it when Im doing my airbrush work. Helpful too when sanding glass so that not everything you touch afterwards make you itch 😂

[@BendheimBoards]

@@RedRussel I might have to do something similar one day 🤙
