Painting your griptape with stencils are the easiest and one of the coolest way to customize it. Highly recommended to people who are new to customising.

[@wtfkanal9997]

I customised my deck, by drawing graffiti on it with permanent markers.

Taking out the shields isn‘t that bad. I bought berrings without shield anyways and this way you can clean them easier.

[@jackwiseman8981]

it’s pretty fun to stick to a theme with your deck, wheels, and grip tape, like mine is a lime green design with zoro from one piece on the grip tape, so u can do whatever u want tbh

Mine is just a freakin mess with stickers all over it

[@bdproductions8132]

I remember buying my first proper drop deck never understood how much the shape of a board could make a difference in your ride but it was horrible the center of gravity was rude and no matter how many risers I added I could never get enough space inbetween the floor and the lowest point of the deck when making simple turns

I think hazard tape on the underside of the board would look pretty cool

[@samsonwilliams9515]

Love th vid keep t up

[@ruaridhhamilton6516]

What I do is get acrylic paint and draw an arrow at the front to tell the front and back actually really useful

I put stickers under my clear griptape. I am super happy with the result it look prete gud

[@allgamer3388]

thaks for the tips

[@averageinternetuser001]

Quick Tip: Never spay paint your grip tape, it'll ruin the friction.

[@cy4nidesh00taz]

i got a custom board but it didn’t come with a clear coat, what can i use to put over it??

[@thatonekidonaboat1269]

I like to put the stickers on top of the board and put clear grip tape on

[@juli_ju172]

How should I costomize my deck? Can you still slide on it when you paint it with acrylic paint or should I use spraypaint?

[@milliefreg]

Yes you can still slide on it

[@jdskates3426]

spray paint would last longer than acrylic paint

[@juli_ju172]

Thanks!! I Think I'll do a mix of bofe because I dont habe that many spray paint coulors

[@garretteverett2613]

If you're really into preserving your deck look get some rails. I don't do boardslides but I still want to get a set to protect my deck.

[@dogethedog9610]

I have recently painted my board and what I did was I just cut out a stencil stuck it down and then sprayed it with spray paint and then but some clear varnish over it so the paint wouldn’t come of

[@Perryprime1999]

I like stickers on my board, gives it character without fully covering the graphic

[@cuganagaganak]

Osom skate video a prisejed😉🤗😎❤️👍

[@random8z]

I grabbed my whightening and just drew all over my grip tape so the drawings have a drip effect to em and now they look sick

[@skoosh8060]

I mostly use chalk board marker to draw on my grip tape and it brings life to my board

[@ohln8164]

nice meeting you at obx

[@skater8959]

venom grip tape is great and they have so many designs

[@electrosportstagteam2811]

For the grip tape you can cut a design through it and it’ll show your deck that’s what I did

[@nolancoulombe1950]

I have cyan bones bearings. They look really nice on my wheels

[@shockhs7371]

I hydro dipped my wheels and the paint just peeled after some ride, how can I make the painted wheels more durable?

[@SkateBox]

Dying them is going to be the best option if you want it to last

I have a red whipper snapper no I got reds bearing and ( I wanted red ) blue spit fires 99d and I’m going to do red trucks and blue bolts wit two blue in the front

[@kimdraxla]

genuine question: I wanna paint my griptape like in the video but wouldn't it scrape off while doing tricks? I own paint markers and could buy spraypaint

[@babybels7773]

I don't have the equipments to remove the trucks so just gonna do it when they are on the skateboard

[@beanie855]

I have a couple of questions 1- my skateboard grip has the brand name 'RAMPAGE' printed on it , will it effect the application of the paint? 2. what type of glue would i use to stick photos onto the deck base (mainly photos with a more shiny effect) 3. could i use modge podge as a protective layer for the spray paint and photos on the deck base? Thank you!

[@cv6531]

1. Only where it's printed there will be discoloration from whatever color "rampage" is. 2. Any light application of wood glue EVENLY over the entire surface of the back of the photo to obviously prevent air bubbles. 3. No paint is gunna last, but applying a clear coat over the paint job helps. Spray paint will wear away fast af and generally ppl only paint their decks to hide ugly graphics.

[@realistic1165]

I heard some stuff about using a rubber on grip tape and draw stuff

[@wek1337]

I saw engraved trucks once couldn't make out what it was but it looked like a simple design like on guns

[@samuelendjala3541]

I've been getting my skateboarding advice from skate box since last year , but I only realise now, that this host guy sounds like a dude with a nineteen year olds way of speaking .

I think a good way to customize your board is to collect a lot stickers and put it under your clear grip

[@jadensimmons6646]

Whats the best way to REMOVE paint from trucks. I'm looking at a new revive deck but I'm trying to save money on trucks. Thanks!

[@garretteverett2613]

Dunno if you figured it out in the past year, but some things for cleaning metal: boil it with baking soda for a bit. This should get the paint rising up and flaking off. The other thing I've done is to get some Simple Green cleaning concentrate and soaking the metal in it for a while, then scrubbing it with a wire brush.

[@daffyduckling6958]

Try using lacquer thinner or a wire wheel on a bench grinder.

Tweak your trucks. I ride old tensor bases (with the slider) kept the tensor kingpin, venture hangers, the washer from a set of bones bushings (that blew out) and indy stock bushings. Not so much artistic as functional. It's a fun way to get your setup to specs you never thought of. I.e. angle of pop, actual wheelbase. Forget the lack of industry standard. 5.0, 139, hi vs. low. Come up with something that fits your needs. But I nerd out on shit like that.
