Here’s something that everybody wants to do for fun … painting a skateboard. This blog post will teach you how to make a custom board

Materials needed: Skateboard, Tools (Socket Wrench, Screwdriver), Newspaper, Spray Paint, Elmer’s Painters Markers

1. First, you will need to take the trucks off of the skateboard. (Trucks are the metal pieces that hold the wheels on the board).
2. Next, you will need to get your spray paint and newspaper (place this newspaper under your board, so that you do not make a mess).
3. Spray the bottom area of the skateboard (not the tape / top area you stand on). Don’t put too many layers –   2 or 3 coats of paint is perfect. I prefer to use just one solid color, but you can do what you like.
4. Let the skateboard dry, then take your Elmer’s Painters Markers  (paint markers) and draw your own design. You can use traditional paint and brushes, but I like paint markers because I can use them to paint my board anywhere in the house and real paint will rub off.).
5. Put your skateboard back together and you’re done.

* Note: You can also use polyurethane spray to seal your paint job, but this is not suggested if you plan to paint your skateboard again.
