Emdee406 Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Bored of how your board looks? I bought a used board from a racer. The base was in great condition, the top sheet a little scratched, and lots of ‘riser rash’. So I bought some adhesive carbon-style covering used for cars from Ebay, bought some stickers from the same place...and hey presto, a House of Stark race board. Total spend, $25, and 45 mins of my time! I’d recommend only doing it on glossy top sheet boards, for better adhesive results. I’ve done this before on brand new boards with graphics I didn’t love. When you peel it off before you resell it, it looks brand new! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Looks nice! Add clear nail polish to any sharp corners and anywhere it starts to peel. Spend some time smoothing any scrapes/dings before application as the vinyl looks awful over even the tiniest of high spots. I used the soapy-water method (search for it) and it worked dramatically better than I feared. Boards are child's play compared to things with compound curves, like a car fender/hood. I also tried some of the silver carbon-fiber look stuff. Looks ok but you can see the board graphics through it much more than I expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredman Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Wonder if you used some automotive sound deadening panels if you could get s quieter board? Hmmm. Sicker mod looks great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
