...to get a snowboard re-branded?

Thinking of buying a cheap ex-hire board this season and an artist friend of mine wants to customise it with one of his designs and/or website plug.

Anyone know if this is reallistic?

No point painting the thing. Stickers would be the best way to do it otherwise you are wasting your time.

I cant see why not Vampyre but you might want to check on what paint and lacquer to use as it may go brittle.If anyone know`s about this its probably Trencher.

A friend of ours is a tatoo artist in his spare time. He is artistic and customises every-thing with his own designs. He customised the rear wheel cover of our 4x4 with his designs. He uses tatoo inks cos they dont crack in weather conditions. Dont know if this will work for your board or not.

People did that a lot years ago. I would protect the finish with a stick on film.

Sounding promising.

HERE's the website plug - if it gets pulled off, he might be interested in some sideline work...

A quick google search for "custom snowboard graphics" brings up a few possibilities...

They seem to be US-based, but I imagine their are similar offers in the UK. Anybody used this method of stick-on vinyls before? I imagine they get battered pretty quickly.
