pretty sure waterproof spraypaint is a myth ay. sorry to dissapoint.

Surely most enamel paints should be waterproof. Alternatively you could just put marine coat or something over it.

if u used it before go to the same place to get it.

sprucegoose, spraypaint in cans is either enamel (turps based) or acrylic (thinners based) both are unaffected by water, however adhesion is governed by surface preparation and need to use a primer or undercoat. (often unnecessary)

sounds like you fluked it the first time! good luck.

Any place that sells automotive paints. check the internet.

If that doesn't work, hobby paint stores will work (tamiya paints) but is likely to be less durable and may or may not be more expensive.

Buy primer, sand your board first, spray primer - let dry, spray paint - let dry, do a second or third layer if you want - let dry, put clear coat - let dry.

When spraying, there are some problems with spraying outside (dust will create small speckles on your board) but if you do so indoors you have inhalation of fumes and paint to contend with so buy a disposable mask and cover your eyes.

man just go to super cheap or bunnings and buy any enamel.
i used it and it lasted until i wet and dryed it off.

Bunnings or Super Cheap it is. Out of 10 replies one actually answered my question. Thanks.

And just for info, when I sprayed my old board I bought the cheapest hobbypaint I could find and just sprayed some on the board without primer, sanding, coating and so on. It sat there as if it was one with the board and will NEVER come off

classic stuff

yeah,wet and dry sand the gloss off and squirt it . will stick to it like a blanket.

Use permanent textas.....

Wattyl super etch primer first. Sticks to anything like sh1t to a blanket. comes in black or grey

Get automotive acrylic spraycan for the top/colour coat. and if you want to make it shiny put a couple of coats of clear acrylic over it.

Worked on my surfboard, motorbike,catamaran, kids bike and kiteboard.

I get my stuff at Paint Place but Supercheap Auto has it too.

I got some blue and red stripe paint from a hardware years ago, not sure if it comes in a spray can

Hey mate I pimped an old board of mine black with masked out silver gt stripes about 12months back using the cheapest sh!t spray can I could get from the 2dollar shop and then sprayed over it with a clear coat and it worked a treat. made sure it was completely clean and gave a real light sand first was all it needed. stuck really well. starting to get a few scratches now but thats coz of lack of care. pimp that shizzle innit g.
