How do you remove the graphics on a factory made board?

[chaosmiranda]

Is there anyway I can get the current image off my skateboard to get it down to the plain wood and then put my own graphic onto it?

take a sander with about 80 or 100 grit sandpaper and move it across until the graphic is gone.I would suggest that you not spraypaint the graphic that you are going to put on it.

So really what your post was as well.

Just sand it down and spray it, if your going to spray it you just need to get the layer of varnish off it.

[FlashFlip]

no i needed to get 10 charcters so i jus scrambled some letters

i said sand it.....ooooooo i am a dumbass, and was there a need to waste a post by putting woo hoo hes a dumb ass blah blah blah

[NIGhtMAre]

why? just skate it off or go buy a blank deck..

[Kake Jelly]

^^ Exactly, I got a blank and just got the FIGHT! stencil off the site, cut it our, sprayed it black and then sprayed it white over the top but off to the side a bit for the black to look like a shadow, it looks awsome ill get pics later.

thats pretty cool, i got the stencil and sprayed it on just now, but i didnt like the F in the middle of the star, so i just made a whole star. but, thanks for telling us about the stencil

edit* i dont know how its gonna come out cause its still dryin up, but i think it looks kinda crappy(my fault, the stencil is not crappy) cause i added too much paint

yeh i didn't use enough white that's why it looks a bit foggy in some spots

[Viper]

i wasent sayin that the way u made it looks crappy, i said that mines looks crappy so far, but it actually came out pretty good

[Kake Jelly]

^^ Yeh i know you wern't saying mine looks bad I worded it wrong sorry about that.

[Viper]

^ its cool, it was my fault also

[wowwhatsthat]

isnt it illegal to take there logo dont they have it copyrighted or something because you diddnt buy that stencil from them

[isk8darkstar]

ummm not really thats like saying you can't put six flag's logo on a project your making about six flags (i dont know that was really random)
plus they have a banner on their website that says DOWNLOAD OUR NEW STENCIL!

[It-Shit]

sand-paper it.

it sands off the coating, then the color, and you're left with "white" and if you sand more, you'll be right at the wood

[Element 4 life]

do a boardslide :p

[isk8darkstar]

you could paint it the same color as the rest of your board (spray paint that is) then just spraypaint over that
if you dont mess up it should work

[PheonyxXx]

Sand the board, then I don't know what type of paint you'd use for your own graphic.

y dont u just spay paint it white o get a blank deck????

[TrAnCe]

THis willl sound like a stupid question; but you know that FIGHT! stencil, I wanted to cut it out, but how do I make sure that I cut curves perfectly? I can cut straight lines with a razor and a ruler, but I just dont want the spraypaint to appear "bludgy" on the deck. the faggots around my area will surely go "how come you're great, perfect deck has got a small imperfection on the curve of the G?"

[TrAnCe]

how do I cut the curves out perfectly. I keep making it square

[3FlipbackLip]

Paint stripper! Slap some of that on then you can just scrape it off.

[DC_fallen_angel]

why? just skate it off or go buy a blank deck..

:-2: LOL Thats what I would do

[shad0w]

Same here. Although, I have spray-painted my decks into a solid color to make them look new again.

[Unknown Skater]

I'm cool. I just spray painted it over the graphic (on my old board {Popwar}).

But yeah, it broke. Sanding it down sounds good.
