Basic level prep for handpainting a surfboard

Newbie here, I saved a Greg Loehr shaped Aquaman board from being dumped in a landfill, fins are intact, no serious damage, lots of sun fade - and I have two questions: 1) I’m a artist that usually paints on large canvases, and I’m tempted to hand paint scores of colorful piranhas all around Aquaman and sell as a wall hanger, what is the most effective seal for under acrylic paint (once I sand the oxidization off), 2) should I instead to see if someone wants to preserve this? I doubt it’s rare. Thanks in advance.

Send it! Looks pre-sanded a bit which will help the acrylic stick. Lay on a light hot coat of resin for a nice finish and it’ll be a solid piece.

recommendation on resin brand? This the first of a few I’ll handpaint, don’t want to mess up on the basics (like buying cheap resin)

Solid option. make it a thin coat to seal it and it’ll hold. measure twice sauce once. good luck

Welcome to the forum Rick and Quinn.

Wondering if the board has epoxy resin being from Greg Loehr…
