“Drew, I bought your DVD and learned so much from it. I have had so much fun doing combo spray designs with paint pen designs but I would like to know any hints or techniques for doing smooth pinlines and borders along rails\u00a0or to separate paint pen panels and sprayed areas.\u00a0\u00a0Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm and your talents – Bud Tatum”<\/em><\/p>\nThese are great questions, Bud.\u00a0 When doing Combo Spray and Paint Pen Designs,\u00a0you have 2 ways to go:<\/p>\n
1.)\u00a0 Do the paint pen art first.\u00a0 When finsihed,\u00a0spray the clear to seal it, and do what you normally would do to finish it.\u00a0 Once it’s dry, then tape it off with either frisket or 2″ tape, and then cut out the design, then you can spray paint around it.\u00a0 Pinlines can be added as a third step.\u00a0 Either tape them off and spray or do it\u00a0by hand if you have a steady hand.<\/p>\n
2.)\u00a0 Airbrush a board on the foam first.\u00a0 Once the board’s glassed, then paint over the glass with paint pens.<\/p>\n
You can have a lot of fun with this.\u00a0 Send me photos of what you’ve done and I’ll post them!<\/p>\n

P.S. Stay tuned for my next DVD coming out, just for surfboard painting.\u00a0 It’s called “THE PAINT SHOP – 12 WAYS\u00a0TO PAINT A SURFBOARD”.\u00a0 The first segement will be available on itunes in about a month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
