today i spray painted the tip of my board before the hot coat. i found that the hot coat didn’t really settle smoothly over the part of the board that i sprayed. is there a better way of doing this? i already put a resin tint on the board so i wanted some colour over the blue.
spray after the hotcoat
it’s just regular glossy spray paint. I’m actually happy with the way it came out. My board looks like it came off the wing of a plane that crashed in World War II.
If I were to spray it after hot coat do I just spray the entire board with a clear coat of spray paint?
Enamel? Laquer? Etc. You can do all kinds of art on a hotcoat with spray cans and just seal with clear after.
i think it was lacquer. is there no way to do a spray job between the fiberglass and the hot coat?

Its possible but really why? At that stage use a resin tint. Unless you are going lightweight on a shortboard. Resin will eat some spraypaint so be carefull on that.plus on the lam you still have to contend with weave so you couldn’t get cleanlines. Finally I would think its safe to assume that paint in between will weaken the boards structural integrity.

Sorry for the multiple posts idk what’s up
yeah that’s true. it’s like having air between the lam and the hot coat. thanks for the advice!
Hey Sco...
As I feared, aerosol...
Its most likely enamel, especially if its shiny. Enamel has a high grease content, which will cause resin to "separate"...(Like when water wont pool evenly on a greasy benchtop.)
Spray on the sanded hotcoat can be glossed over sucessfully. My artwork has routinely been glossed over without separation. The paint has always been thinners-based acrylic (Automotive paint.) And no, it doe'nt need to be sealed with clear spray. Keep the board finger-print free.
