Personal Project - Longboard Production - Part 1 - From Polishing, to Spraying

Part 1 of a longboard creation project I'm working on in Madrid. Being very fond of longboarding and having access to the tools and material required to create a longboard myself, I designed one on Illustrator and got to work. After the design was finished and made to fit the dimensions of the board, some polishing was required to completely buff out all parts of the board that did not get covered the design. The board was painted white, and then sprayed over with a stencil print-out of the design. The initial coat of paint serves as a rough base and the first step of the painting process. More progress will follow once I get a chance to continue working on it the next time I visit the workshop in Madrid.
