Not VW (surfboards)
Anyone know any sites on how to repair small dings in surfboards. Can you buy kits, If I sand back the varnish(clear laquer) what can I repaint it
with.etc etc
I only have a few small cracks at the base and would like to repaint it so any help would be great.
Cheers
Dave

u will find most boards are usually painted on the blank (the foam). small cracks or dints or chips can be filled with any resin you like (Mitre 10
resin is fine) or you can get a repair kit that will come with a small amount of resin and hardener and glass cloth from most surf shops. if you want
to repaint the whole board then the easiest option is to use acrylic paint (car paint, basically) then shoot a coat or 3 of clear over the top when
your done. this is how most graphics are done on boards these days

Buy a repair kit from a surfshop...if only small repairs...thats not the best option for painting if you want to use it, but if its just for display
will look ok...

I will be using it, its gone a brown colour and has a few small dents at the bottom near the fin.
I was thinking if I fix the dents with the repair kit, can I then sand it down, clean it, and then spray it with 2 pac and then spray some clear to
seal it.
Any help greatly received.
Also can anyone tell me what the board is.
Its 9'1"and fiberglass.
Cheers
Dave

looks like a pretty classic mal. the other option (if you have a good compressor, which judging by your bus you do) is to buy a real cheap spray gun
with a real wide opening and spray a coat of finishing resin over the top of your paintwork, that way it is guaranteed to last forever (have never
tested the clear laquer method, only been recommended it by some pro's)
