I have an old Goya wave that I am fairing and refinishing. I'm wondering about paint to use. I had intended to use the Killrust Epoxy Enamels to do the graphics but need to know if there's something else around that would be better than that (and comes in spray cans).

Kill rust cans a bit duller than high gloss enamel,expensive enamels give best finish ,I like to polish them with medium cut polish when dry gives them that factory look,use fine line tape for graphics so color dosnt bleed

One tip I can offer is to find a clear coat in the same range, so that you are confident it won't react to the colour coats, if you use clear coat and acrylic dust for your non-skid finish.

I used some cheapo Bunnings 'fiddly bits' white paint on my board and when I used the clear coat it would bubble. When I used the killrust stuff over the top of the 'fiddly bits', it would bubble. I ended up paint stripping it off just so that I could paint it without it bubbling up. I found that the paint I used has a spray clear coat and also a liquid clear coat, so that's what I used for my board's non-skid.

Ian you can go into paint shops now and pick your colours and they will put it on a spray can for you. No limit to what colours you can get. Pretty cool.

Don't get any paint on that wall though.
