If you had access to fat stacks of decks in the warehouse, what top color stain would you pick?

Mongo Lloyd · « **Reply #1 on:** September 22, 2024, 08:00:49 PM »

Anything but blue or red.

Green is always tight, but preferably pink.

Illegitimate poll. You forgot Fred Gall.

I get the taboo or whatever but i fuck with a red ply

Orange has magical properties. By far, no 1.

Then,

Green, yellow, blue, pink, purple, brown, natural, red. No Dip ever.

If the shop has two of the same board I'll pick a bright top ply over a dark one. Prob don't really need coloured top plus at all. Def don't need top graphics.

I like the ones from Palace. Very random shit.

When the grip tape wears away at the edges, and the color shows through there.

Illegitimate poll. You forgot Fred Gall.

Fred Gall transcends the visible spectrum of color. Therefore he cannot be a choice, and no deck could withstand the frequency at which his particles vibrate.

@logjammin @fs1/2cab @Pastasash
Teal added.

Purple or pink is my preference, not always what I get though…

Cthulhu! · « **Reply #17 on:** September 23, 2024, 07:30:28 AM »

Blue or pink. Purples.
I skated a couple of Prime boards recently, they had a really nice deep blue stain.

BeachChicken · « **Reply #18 on:** September 23, 2024, 07:36:48 AM »

Whatever Limo does with their dyed middle veneers looks great.

Bupstop · « **Reply #19 on:** September 23, 2024, 07:47:21 AM »

Hands down the worst is natural for top and bottom ply.

Natty tops are sick, ask Ross Norman

Nice topic,

Teal makes me feel happy, but i love a nice Green or Dark Purple, both great.
Anything but Yellow or Red, no superstition but they just bum me out

Xen · « **Reply #23 on:** September 23, 2024, 09:50:15 AM »

purple/black/red stains (superstitious plebs, go pray into your hats/tap your board 3x while you're at it)

Secondary: Pink/Orange/Blue (I've lost interest in yellow and teal and not a fan of green)

I always ask for a preferred color with online ordering. Most are able to do it if they have it (Cowtown is especially accomodating as they will check each store/ship from there if they have it).

I feel teal is probably the average color provided when not specified.

TwisT · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2024, 09:54:55 AM »

Pink is the best stain in any situation

in general, life needs more multi stains

SupremePizza · « **Reply #25 on:** September 23, 2024, 10:04:08 AM »

Pink or teal are my favorite and if I get those I always leave a line down the left side so I can see the ply. Red is my least favorite

fakiefs180 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 23, 2024, 10:07:09 AM »

I will not tolerate yellow top slander. You got that black and yellow combo and feel the Wu power. Unless for some reason you don't use black grip then I won't say anything.

A NICE yellow, fine, Polar mustarsbabyshityellow can fuckoff.

I retract blue and vote teal now, but I don't think you can.

Yellow top plies only suck because they fuck with my OCD and show even the slightest imperfections from slicing/sanding. And as the board gets abused it looks sloppier vs having a darker colored ply like blues/teals/purple/black/brown. Kinda the same with orange top, too. But it's not as bad as the yellow. Pink used to threaten my manhood now I don't mind it at all. A rich vibrant pink, that is. Not a fluffy light shade.

Yellow tops do make the board look trash af really fast.

Yeah, has to be that deep saturated almost hot pink, not the pale shit Quasi uses.
