Surfboard

One thing Shawn has learned about painting surfboards, is that each one is unique because each one is actually hand shaped. When Shawn paints a surfboard, he leaves the actual signature of the 'board shaper' on the back. This board was shaped by Price St. Clair.

First, Shawn repaired cracks and splits in the board with a thin layer of fiberglass. Then, he filler primed the board.

After that, he sanded it smooth and began with a Kandy Orange base, followed with a pearlized blue base graphic.

He then used an 'Old School' lace trick to airbrush the lace pattern.

Then came 3 colors of free style pinstriping to create this incredible board.


To top it off, Shawn added more blue pearl in the final clear coat.
