Longboard graphics!

[zoxxy]

I'm thinking about buying a new longboard and it looks like this.
So I thought that, alotugh raw CF looks awsome, I'd put on a nice graphic. But how should iot look? Well this is what the thread is about.
If some kind souls could make some graphics to give me some inspiration it'd be great!
I made a template here. It can be everything from surfy look to hi-tec simplicity, anything goes.

Here's something quick I just did: 1 and 2


Thank you, and good luck!.

Sounds cool, might give it a go

This would look muuuuch better with red/white/blue wheels.

Awsome! With some semi-transparent paint it would be wicked!

Did some rip-offs!

Do you want a design where you can still see the carbon through? Was thinking of doing something along those lines.

YOU DECIDE! There's a million ways to make a good looking graphic.

It's a great idea, btw.

Ok ok.

Aren't you going to want the designs to be a little bigger than that template you provided, that's way too small to print? Or do you want the design to be scalable?

You wouldn't need a semi-transparent paint. You would just need to put a very light coat on with an extra coat of gloss. You'd be able to see the weave still. Is "semi transparent" paint even real?
Also, if you go somewhere and get it done professionally (like a graphic you glue/paste on the deck) you could tell them to print it with some opaqueness to it.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

It isn't that important, but it would be great if it's scaleable! 👍
