I just bought a few decks and I'm going to hype them up with paint.
I'm wondering what kind of paint I should use?

Do any of you have experience with this?

I realize that the designs will get scratched up...but I'd like to use something that will stick to the board really well.

I'm thinking about using 1Shot but since it's an oil based enamel, I'm not sure if that's a great idea.

Thanks in Advance,
Rachael in Dallas

Use whatever you want. If you don't think it'll stick, use a rough-grained sandpaper and put a crapload of scratches in the wood.

Thanks for the advice.

I think I'm going to use 1Shot.

However, I'm curious about spraypaint, the fancy kind.

I hate cheap spraypaint...but I don't know of any really fancy ish.
