Painting new board

[Jack2007]

Hey,

I am about to shape my first board and have a few questions on painting it.
It will be a basic design as its my first.

What I thought I would do is:
Spray an acrylic paint directly on to the foam, glass over, Pinline using POSCA pens on the sand coat and then gloss coat.

What I want to know is,

If I paint directly on the foam do you think I will need to spray a lacquer over the paint before glassing? ( I will be testing it on a scrap piece first but would like to know beforehand if I am likely to.)

What sort of finish would I get if I were to brush the paint on? Would the glassing cover up the strokes or I suppose I could use a roller.

Again, after pinlining, I will lightly sand the lines down but do these usually need a lacquer over them? (Could I use acrylic straight from the tube with a fine paint brush?)If anyone has any suggestions on whats the best method of Pin-lining would be appreciated.

Thanks again,

JACK

I think u will get better results by just tinting the resin on the laminate pass. Once that dried and lap sanded good then clean surface dust up and setup some masking tape for your pinlines. Paint the lines then hot coat over the entire thing. Sand it and surf it.
