Instructions

    • 1

      Paint your longboard deck. Use colors like black, blue and gray to create a mysterious, darker look or use neon paints like green, yellow and pink to get a popping, eye-catching board. Spray paint and airbrush designs create unique artwork opportunities that no one else will have.

      Change the wheels of your longboard to match or accent the new color of your board. For example, if you are going for a brighter look, you can replace your Sector 9 wheels with bright blue or orange wheels, adding to your color scheme.

      Find or design your own stickers and apply them to your board strategically. You can use letter stickers to spell your name, the name of a band or team, or the name of your school. You can also use bumper stickers if you desire. Because Sector 9 longboards are larger than regular skateboards, you have more space to experiment with sticker designs.

      Apply clear lacquer to your longboard, spreading it evenly across the board with a paint brush. Allow the lacquer to dry undisturbed and, if desired, add another coat. This will seal in your unique designs and protect the board.
