I'm already planning the next board but I want to put a decorative paint job on the board before clear coating, likely to be only a few solid colours with a little masking but want to have the CF as the main background with the pattern superimposed on top if you get the drift.

Not sure what to use or how to do it, I want to get an idea before I approach the local paint shop with the idea or would it be better to use large vinyl decals instead of paint? The smaller stuff is like ID plates/warnings etc I'm getting done in vinyl to clear coat over but the other stuff is going to be 400mm ish diameter so a large area to have as vinyl.

I've not had to do anything other than clear coat before so a bit in the dark on this one... If I was to to the whole board I'd be looking at hi-build PU primer and paint over that but it's just a small area I want to cover

(no gel surface layer, just epoxy)

Thanks

oh, forgot to ask, how do you double "A" side with GC50 without having matching moulds?

Sorry missed that earlier must have been typing reply.

The only thing I have made that is similar to what your doing are Long Boards. For that I used upper and lower deck moulds and then bonded the two halves together post infusion. Spray tacked pieces of peel ply into the mould for areas needing grip before laying down the GC50. Doing it that way you can alter the core depending on rider weight, riding style and the amount of flex required whilst keeping the upper and lower skins standard.
