l need to know what kind of paint l should use for it?

Like would exterior paint be alright? Or am l going to have to get some kind of paint. As well I am adding a glaze over it after I am done. What kind of paint should l use? And maybe send my a link or give me a place that l can get it in Maine.

Color is normally applied by spray can or air brush with oil based paint for both methods. It is applied to the bare foam & then glassed over. You can do it the way u describe. Sand the entire board with 150 grit paper. Use spray cans to apply the color & masking tape to make designs. Then u can coat the board with clear finishing resin from a surf shop. This is tedious because u have to sand the coat with higher & higher grits until u reach 600 grit. Then u compound to get a shine. A much easier & very acceptable method is to coat the color with several light coats of clear spray lacquer in cans. Rust Oleum is the best. Take ur time & do it right & the board should look great. One more thing. Use flat spray paint for the color.
