Alright so i decided to go ahead and cut out a template on posterboard and then i sprayed down a blue coat, and then 2 white coats with spraypaint. it came out pretty good i think, wasnt too difficult and i think added a personalized touch very easily...i also wanna add a crosshair above pwnd. let me know what u think

Cool. I actually have an older wakeskate and I painted the whole thing white. Everything thing. Then colored in the skull and cwb logo in with black. Looked pretty good when i was done.

If I were to spray my grip completely would it make it less grippy?

Slyder, true but I didn't really notice that much of a difference when im riding... it hurts less when you land on it thats for sure

I just finished building my wakeskate, and I went to Zumiez to get grip tape for it, and they showed me clear grip tape. I had never heard of it before, but I went ahead and bought it, and it actually worked out really well. I put a Nixon die-cut underneath, and it shows up perfect, and I can see the wood grain and everything which I like. Plus the grip is a little bit finer, so it doesn't tear me apart so badly. I'd recommend it for anyone who's looking to make their skate personal. You can put whatever you want underneath, it shows up perfect, and it won't wear off until the grip tape does.
