taking a page out of the @cydwhit book and painting smash 7’s that i have no love for and i probably should’ve burned cuz they ski like a rotted out 2x4
1) sanded with 80,140,220 grit on an orbital sander
2) taped bases
3) grey krylon primer

todays progress

gonna add a green stripe below the teal and then probably add a center stripe and maybe some geometric stuff

also want to leave either the tips or tails grey but i can’t decide what one

and yes there’s a lot of red overspray but it’ll get another coat of either black or grey on top of it so idc rn



ft. my cast that’s put up with auto tech and spray painting and football with friends

it has been wayyyy too long since i worked on these but i finished up a few minutes ago. gonna put the bindings back on tomorrow

the red to gold fade was a last minute decision but i kinda like it. i was too indecisive about what to do so suggestions from friends/family said do this and im happy with how it turned out

those clap cheeks, looks great for spray paint. Did you just do a spray paint clear on top?? Let them sit out in the sun for as long as possible, if you screw bindings in now they'll probably settle into the paint and end up sticking really bad

Now would that be a igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock?

Edit: I guess you're not really working on your HW if your on NS

Most likely igneous because there isn’t banding like granitic gneiss would have, and that’s metamorphic
