FAQ's

Will Surfpaints work on... other than surfboards?

Surfpaints work on just about anything you can name: skateboards, fins, helmets, shoes, doors, boats, kayaks, canvas, rocks, cars, glass windows, leather footballs... and more than 12 different surfaces.

While Surfpaints were engineered for surfboards, the premium water-based acrylic paint nature makes it suitable for multiple surfaces.

To learn how to paint your surface, visit our Painting Guide page for more information.

What are Surfpaints made of?

Surfpaints are water-based acrylic paint pens with a low odour, made to be easy to use for kids and adults.

As with any art supply, follow the instructions on the pack and have an adult supervise young children.

What is the difference compared to other brands?

Surfpaints unique features include replaceable 4mm nibs (bullet and chisel replacements are sold separately), and a specially formulated acrylic blend from Japan designed for vibrant, smooth application on almost any surface. With a strong surf culture, we’ve expanded our reach, embracing the broader art community with products that promise reliability, versatility, and excellence in every stroke.

Get your creativity going

Excellent paint markers. They get you creating and thinking of all the ideas without the fuss of getting out a heap of equipment. I couldn’t stop, I painted rocks then had to get ideas online as I didn’t want to stop. Then I painted a chair and then shoes then my iPad cover….

Handy case

I Love the storage case, I can fit the whole color range in it to take with me anywhere. The extras that come with the case are very useful. The water pen is easy to use and great for blending the SurfPaints.

Very happy with my purchases

I had not used these very much in my artwork for a while, but once I started using them, I am hooked on the extra depth of detail that I achieve in each piece when using them.
So very happy with my purchases.

Great purchase

These paints are fantastic for my wall Mural I’m about conquer for the first time.
I’ve used these before and they do not fade and are UV protection for walls.
I love them.

Best paint pens on the market.

These pens are amazing. Exactly what I needed to make my paintings pop. I have been using them to paint in all the finer details of a series I’m doing showcasing the heritage houses on Launceston. They are clear, bright, reliable and I love the interchangeable nib allowing me to change the thickness of the line. Highly recommend them.
