The quick easy solution:

Take masking tape and run it across the grip tape to "square" it off. Use some newspaper or cardboard to block the rest of of the grip tape. Hit it up with the spray paint.


Nice clean lines.

stencils are really easy to make.
-use some sort of thick paper (i prefer manilla folders)
-draw or trace a picture or symbol onto your piece of paper
-use an exacto or utility knife to cut it out

-if you want your stenci to last longer, laminate it or cover it in packaging tape before cutiing out your design, that should keep it usable for alot longer

I always just cut out griptape and make a design, Or i cut it around a sticker or someting I painted. If you want to make a stencil just use thin cardboard and a razar blade. Draw what you want, cut it out, make the edges pretty on the stencel and then paint it on whatever.

Skateboards are way steezier with nothing added to them at all. Thats just my thought. its stupid to fuck with your grip tape at all. theirs really no point. all it does is take extra work and make you look like a poser.
