Basically, if you can draw it and paint it, it can go on a surfboard. look at boards that have been spray painted when being made for ideas and any piece of artwork that you like can be done with paint pens.. Use the masking tape to cover the rails, logos, traction pad and any other part of the surfboard that you do not want to paint. you can also use the tape to make designs and different patterns in the paint. shake the paint pen or spray paint vigorously to mix up the paint.. You can use paint pens (posca, boardstix, etc), cans of spray paint, or the classic paint and brush setup. they all will work with your surfboard, it just depends what kind of look you are going for. i wanted a simple two-tone color scheme, so i opted for spray paint. i think a can of paint and a big brush would have also worked just fine..
