board art

ok, so this may be a really stupid question, but.....can you change the graphics on a board? like can you redo them or give them a touch up if they are fading?

I dont know how much it would fade. Because it is under layers of gloss coat. So it would rub off, and unless you are leaving your board out for hours in the sun, it shouldnt get too bad. Most of the time mine is out in the sun(not much because storms are the only good waves we get here), I am either standing on it, or lying down padling on it.

You COULD strip it off and redo it, long and hard I am led to believe(never actually done this).

the graphics are under the fiberglass, so you will have to strip down the board to re do them, or do more graphics over the top and glass over it
