Half Pipe paint

[WayFastRevo]

my dad just built me and my sister a halfpipe for christmas
he put water seal on it so now its really slippery.
its soo slippery that you fall if you land slightly sideways.
We are going to put paint on it what kind of paint do you recomend?
i think flat paint would be more grippy.

What kind of paint is easy to boardslide on? The local park, not skatepark, has paint on some sement and its so smoot to grind on I just want to buy more of that ppain and paint the other spots around there..

id get either oil based or latex, and DONT GET WHITE. i painted my halfpipe white this last time and it is HORRIBLE when the sun is out. its like a fucking mirror

you should've had your dad cover your ramp in masonite or if you really had the cash, skatelite would be the perfect solution.

i helped paint my mates it was like normal rustproof paint and it worked fine not slippery

I really don't reccomend water seal, seeing as you already did, I'm not sure what to tell you there. I did not cover my halfpipe with paint (I should, and might later on) or water seal.

Either use Marine paint or SPAR Urethayne. Both of those resist weather pretty well and have a nice ride to them. I used SPAR on my ramp.

I don't think you will have much luck painting your ramp though if it is already sealed... nothing will stick to it. You will either have to replace the top layer or put another layer over it... I did that before too it sucks.

Oww Man that sucks
Good luck with that.

Sorry I couldn't be of much help, from what i've seen water seal just messes up the entire ramp.

However, if you feel it gets too bad, even with paint it might stay slippery, you can get some skatelight material, or just another layer of wood in general and just put it over the top.
