Unleash Your Creativity: Surfpaints from Surfboards to Every Surface You Can Imagine
It’s no surprise that Surfpaints have been stealing the show in the world of surfboard art lately, but that’s not where the magic stops!
Artists are now taking these versatile paint pens beyond the waves, creating stunning designs on wood boards, fabric, canvas, paper, and just about any surface they can get their hands on.
Surfpaints truly go the distance, effortlessly transitioning from surfboards to a wide range of porous and non-porous surfaces. If you're ready to unlock your creativity and try it out for yourself, let’s dive into some simple tips for painting different surfaces!
Whether it’s wood board creations, customized fabric pieces, or eye-popping murals on canvas and paper, these paint pens excel. The best part? You don’t need to be a pro artist or master of surf art to get great results. Surfpaints deliver smooth, bold colors that stick beautifully.
How to Master Surfpaints for different Surfaces
- For Porous Surfaces (Wood, Canvas, Fabric, Paper)
- Prime it right: Before painting, apply a thin layer of gesso or acrylic primer to the surface to help the paint pop and stay vibrant.
- Use smooth, steady strokes: Since porous surfaces can absorb paint quickly, steady pressure helps maintain even coverage without bleeding.
- Seal your masterpiece: Finish your project with a clear acrylic spray sealer to protect your design and keep those colors fresh.
- Clean the surface: Wipe down with a damp cloth or alcohol to remove dust, grease, or fingerprints. This helps the paint stick better.
- Prime with care: Some non-porous surfaces, like glass and metal, benefit from a light coat of adhesion primer. For surfboards, you can paint straight on without priming!
- Seal it in style: Once dry, seal your design with a spray-on clear coat to prevent chipping or fading, especially if it’ll face the elements (like surfboards or outdoor art).
And that’s it! Whether you’re creating a one-of-a-kind surfboard, custom wooden signs, or a fabric masterpiece, Surfpaints makes it simple. They handle all kinds of surfaces with ease, making sure your art stands out no matter what canvas you choose.
