What have you done to make your skate stand out from the crowd? I've seen alot of people using the dove on there Integritys. I did this today with nothing else to do since I got sent home from work.

do you cut designs out before or after you put the grip down?

I did mine before puting it on. Traced the design on the back of the grip right on the protective paper and then cut it out

Nekkie, nice griptape design , very nice

I did mine after the grip was already applied. No stencil either just free handed it. Laughing

by cutting into it with a razor would it damage the board any or be bad for it?

myers, I'm thinking the same... Smile

If you got a choice cut it out before applying on the skate ^^

But I had part of mine peeled off cause I didn't wait long enough to dry and didn't bother to fix it right away... I might take a lil bit of grip off and put a new patch in, could look cool if done right lol. So yeah, wait at least a day for the glue to dry nicely before riding your newly gripped deck... if you can wait that is lol

I'll probably do it today since I wont ride for a few days... will post a pic

Has anyone tried spray paint on a foam top? I thought about spray painting some kind of symbol on there but didn't know how it would hold up on a foam top.

WaKeSk8er209, Yeah I thought Grubb used to do that but I couldnt tell if it was spray paint or not. I want to get a big DC stencil and put it on there cuz I wear Dc shoes when I ride.
