Déco

You can choose to decorate and personalize your surfboard in different ways, and at different stages of the manufacturing process. For some, this will be tinted resin, swirl or panel based on pigments and resin. For others, it will be spray paint from Montana or Posca. It's just a matter of letting your creativity speak to achieve your own surfboard customization.

  • Paint sprays

    You can choose to decorate and customize your surfboard using our MONTANA Colors spray paint cans. You can apply the paint directly onto the shaped and ready-to-glass PU foam blank, or on your finished board (sanded and glossed). In the latter case, you will need to spray the entire decoration with a layer of varnish (matte or satin) that will fix and protect the paint from the effects of the sun and saltwater. Some precautions to take: - the gas contained in the paint or varnish cans requires the use of protective equipment (respirators, gloves, goggles, etc.) - use high-quality masking tape to cover non-painted areas, which adheres perfectly to the foam of your blank and prevents paint from seeping through.

  • Pigments

    A single colour decoration, with dyed resin, is fairly easy to achieve. A few drops of coloured pigments into the resin that you will use to glass-on your board, until you obtain the desired colour, then add 1 to 1,5% catalyst and glass on !! For more advanced results, or swirls, keep in mind that your blank will be coloured only in the same colour it has first been in contact with. Let your imagination do the work, using opaque dyes or translucent dyes... The pigment should never represent more than 3% of the total resin volume in order to allow the polymerization to happen. Don't forget that you will have 10 to 15 minutes to achieve your work !

  • POSCA pens

    The POSCA paint marker is a water paint marker. A well known brand in the street art/graffiti worlds, it is generally used for decoration onto a finished board. The design/drawing must then be varnished with a "spray finish", to be fully protected against water, as water paint dissolves in....water ! The POSCA markers have a bevelled tip, which will allow thin or thicker lines.
