You guys got any recommendations on what kind of paint & brushes to get to paint some stuff on the grip tape?

I'd want the stuff to look good but not affect the grippiness at all. Also spraying isn't gonna work for what I want to do and those paint markers are a bitch as they get fucked up and you can only get rather thick lines with them.

i just use deco color painters pens. they're cheap and they won't fuck up the grippiness. get the thinner ones if you're worried about thick lines.

Has anyone tried the Mini Logo clear grip? I am trying out the whole graphics under the clear grip thing and I want to make sure I use something that’s transparent enough and looks good

I used it in the past and thought it was pretty good. The colors underneath were a bit muted, but you could still see through it clearly. The grit was really visible as well so that might be detrimental if you're doing something with very fine details, but I'd back it for the most part.

Thanks a lot for the answer, hope it all works out for me.

This is the first time I’ve looked at this thread, some very rad art in here. As someone who has used blank griptape his entire life, a lot of this is foreign to me, but still cool nonetheless.

How long do you guys spend making the more elaborate, layered art? Just curious.

Made a collage with cutouts from my last ever university textbook might as well get my monies worth; this is with minilogo clear grip and it looks good. It does show the grit more than others but I have found that MOB clear grip is the worst in terms of image clarity.

I’ve thought about making grip art. But I’m concerned it will lessen the grit of the grip tape and make it less grippy. Can anyone attest to this?

it should not really affect the quality of the grip. just if you use too much paint it will later over “sand” just try and you will see how it works for you.

also the clear mob looses grip so fast and turns into a fucking sticker after 2-3 weeks of skating it.
really disappointed with that.

Quicky abstract.
I was worried about the grit being somehow lessened too, but it seems fine. This is Iron Horse grip, if I recall.

That's really nice!

I haven't noticed it affecting grip at all even in grips I let my friends' kids paint and they didn't thin out the paint with water enough to make painting a lot easier even though i told them a million times.  :D
