[Ride it to dust]

Expand Quote

Probably not the correct place for this question but cant find answers doing a search. Does anyone know which spraypaint works best / still slides on decks with graphics you arent really feeling? Also is there any that work without sanding? Just wondering if anyone has had experiences with this. Based in the UK so if it’s something that readily available here would be a bonus

You want water based/acrylic spray paint. It'll dry quick and won't smell strong either. Most people make the mistake of using oil based paint which takes ages to dry/harden and is sticky as fuck.
Give the deck a wipe down with a cleaner to remove any grease/dirt from your hands etc then give it a very light sand to key the surface. Then a quick dust off before spraying.

Thanks for the tip, have seen a few acrylics that are reasonably cheap and should do the job.

love the full shapes (like the Quasi Proto) but wanted an 8.75" so I popped for an FA, loving it so far!

Love it. I see you are running the Knicks bushings combo in your Indys, that's a great combo.
You might have the exact measurements for this deck?
Mostly tail and overall length.

Put this together for my kid from random stuff I got for cheap but turned out pretty decent imo

I get ~7 nose, 6.56 tail, 31.56 overall.

Might try the blue barrel bottom. Could use a bit more stability.

Thanks a lot mate.

The blue barrels are nice if you want more stability but still a surfy turn.

Thanks, man. Pretty pleased with it. I keep coming back to the conical spits. Nah, no kids that know && where I skate!

I’m in a heavy Endgame house so excited to see that…

Dang, I had pretty much the exact same setup, but with hard bushings and 56mm conical fulls.  Favorite setup I've ever had.  Just build up a Huffer, but I think I like the white eagle better.
