I’ve sprayed Golden on things besides surfboards, even screened with Golden once, but I’ve never sprayed it on foam. I think it would work great. It looks and behaves like my choice of board acrylics. It’s Pearl All Surface acrylic paint. You can find the stores through the link below, but you can only buy the paint at a Pearl Art store. The best and worst characteristics of Pearl and Golden are metalics with mica. They look really cool, bright and shiny, but with depth. The down side of these paints is that water content determines how they look after drying. The more you thin these paints before spraying, the lighter they will dry. That means, when painting different areas, or when touching up a paint job you have to use paint with the same water content, or… you’re scrod. I think Golden would make an excellent board paint, but I haven’t tested it. I would test it before using it though. Paint it on some foam, let it dry, and resin over it. http://www.pearlpaint.com/
has anyone ever tried using iridescent paints? I have never seen a board with iridescent paint in the water. Would it work? If so let me be the first to try it! I was thinking like a fish scheme with iridescent scales.
I used to have the coolest all chrome bicycle and have always wanted to make a shiny chrome colored surfboard, like the Silver Surfer. Has anyone ever tried it? Any ideas? Chrome fin too?
Altough a fish scheme with iridescent scales would be really good looking I wouldn’t want to ride a board like that. First thing that comes to mind it giant fish lure. Especally with that pattern on a little fish board. But it would be a killer looking board.
I use golden paints on my boards. They work great. The red bleeds a little of corse but other than that they are excellent. You can use them in just about any type of medium, from illustration board to foam. You can also get the paint not pre mixed, in bigger containers for a decent price. They mix well, and water down easy so they won’t clog in the brush.
My very first board i made into the silver surfer. I used some water based acrylic that i bought at Micheals. I believe it was liquetex or somehting. It came in a tube with a screw on cap. I made the mistake of hand painting it though. It took way too many coats in order to get rid of the streaks. 4 plus coats later though the board looks like a mirror and i dont have to worry about it being to light either. Silver looks great, i am thinking of doing gold on a 6 4 single, i dunno. The painting with a brush was definelty a pain though.
thanks for the help
