CANDY PEARLS | HC9500 CLEARCOAT | SKATEBOARD

Here's another awesome work from Danny Riddle! On this piece, Danny shows us step by step how he was able accomplish the design on this epic skateboard! See the steps below:

Step 1
  • Wet sand with 800 grit, clean with
  • HR398 and layout flames with ProBand Fineline 1/8” green tape.

Step 2
  • Mask around flames with Autographix masking tape.

Step 3

Step 4
  • Using 1/16” tape, layout freehand pinstripe designs.

Step 5
  • Carefully cover flames and outlines with mask

Step 6
  • Spray background with a blend of Candy Black (top), Candy Violette (middle) and Candy Pearl SoCal Blue.
  • After  applying 2 or 3 coats of the black and blue, pull the 1/16” tape to reveal the freehand stripes and tint them with the candies to the desired color.
  • Finally, pull all masking from flames and surrounding pinstripes.

Step 7
  • Wipe down with HR398, then tack rag and clear ( I used HC9500)
  • 3 coats, dry 2 hrs, wet sand with 800 wet paper, 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit, 2500 grit 3,000 and finally 5,000.
  • Polish with CSI products and ready to go!
