Title: Painting DIY concrete
Post by: Eh on November 12, 2023, 10:35:06 AM

Is there a particular paint to use for quikcrete obstacles? Also, I haven’t skated many that are painted: how slick do they get?

Gloss exterior paint, gloss clear coat or gloss concrete sealer for slickness. Waterborne paint for classic socal curb, it's not slick but has a clay base that feels good to grind

Rustoleum high heat enamel is a nice paint for concrete, dries hard for a nice slide. Just try and paint on a cloudy day, the direct sun can make things a little sticky

Thanks, that’s good advice. I’m trying to put some color on a couple features like at Barrier Spot (@:47). Y’all think the recommendations made are similar to what they used?
