I noticed more boards in the racks that have matte black painted rails. Anybody know what paint they use?

Painted rails
- Thread starter One-Off

Montana rattle cans are also really good. I have the OG Zamora X dialer (IYKYK) that he painted the rails black on with Montana cans and they are for the most part in pretty good shape after all these years.(I have tried to dig up that old thread to no avail. Maybe one of you erBB geniuses can find it in the ether) I’ve done a few repairs on it and used the same stuff with good results and have also used it to paint the rails of other boards. Just make sure you hit it with plenty of UV flat or satin clearcoat. Montana paint pens also work really well for touching things up. They come in varying thicknesses. Just like pepis (man parts)
Under the glass? The boards I see have the paint over the glass.
Hang on to it! Ian might want to scan it, x-dialer is / was magic! I still have mine with Lokbox fins.
She's not going anywhere, still one of my favorite boards and gets in the water. Ian and I actually tried to connect a while back so he could scan it, but we never made it happen. If you're out there Ian....
I bought acrylic floor sealer from home Depot and thin acrylic paint w it instead of water (for painting blanks).
My issue with painting the foam is purely aesthetic. However, get the slightest impact and the snackles show up like paper snowflakes on a black background. A lot of the boards I make, I ride for a season, and then sell. If it wasn't for the snackles they would basically be new.
I figured if the paint was outside the glass then that problem is gone. Outside the sand coat and you have a new set of problems- scratching or chipping off.
Any body with black painted rail boards hav problems?

Easy way to spice up the look without painting the whole thing. Trouble is rails / tails are the first to scratch up so things can look rough in a hurry. Color matching after repair is no fun either.
I like color if only to fight the aging yellow look, because my many of my boards will surely outlive me.

that's why i paint the sides black on all my jeggings
Got a couple of dark railed boards, one black. Definitely shows some snackles which it kind of annoying but I still think it's worth it due to the overall look.
