Hi Guys,

Very new to SUP'ing. Lovin it. Bought a white, 2nd hand, carbon fibre dug out 14" DC.

The old owner said he used cheap spray paint to touch up the scuffs from the roof racks etc. After a few years and a few layers of the cheap paint, I think its said cheap paint thats causing it to scuff really easily.

I was think to use some wet & dry to get the scuff off then... wondering what better quality spray paint I can use to better protect the board. Is there such a thing? It's mostly white so given the right paint, it should be easy enough to get looking spotless again.

Is there a particularly recommended white spray paint I should use for the job?

Thanks,
Herb.

[1] try to remove the scruff marks rather than paint over it: generic cleaning products, alcohol, solvent F,...

[2] any paint should be covered by varnish (glossy or mat, depending on your board). This will provide UV and abrasion protection over paint.
