DeadMau5 long board?

**MagicHDx** · 02-03-2012 07:54 AM

Had any one on the fish painted a deadmau5 themed longboard? I was going to get a board off a cheap website and use the image for the head http://images.mocpages.com/user_imag...07m_SPLASH.jpg you guys have any tips/ideas?

Do it! If it's a cheap board you wouldn't have to feel bad about having it on your wall.

I was going to get it from eastbilt.com as they have superrr cheap decks. Any recomendations on what boards the best? Heres the text now http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

I saw an ebay ad for some dude that'll print any image you want on a deck...

But if you're going to paint, I want to see the finished product of the mau5.

If you want someone else to do it, BC Longboards can put any graphic you wish on their boards. But it would be cooler if you did it yourself.

Super easy to just do a deadmau5 griptape design yourself.

If you want a design painted on the bottom of it, you can certainly commission an artist to draw something for ya.
Personally, hit up rodgon (a user on this site, also google it to find his website).
He's done so many longboard and wheel graphics for the community...a really cool guy to work with.

Thats what I was thinking because I already have a 47" pintail so it would be nice to have two different boards. Would this board be good for painting or would I have to sand the clear coat off to paint?

Thanks

Lol sounds like you didn't even need my opinion about the board....

And I have zero clue about the painting question. Sorry.

it should be okay painting directly on the board then recoating it with uretane or clearcoat. or atleast before painting, lightly sand the clearcoat so the paint can stick better on the deck. I've done a few decks, but most of mine i took the clearcoat completely off (old graphic).
