The board is a Longboard Larry Drop Pin. I love this board. I currently ride this one with Bear 10mm Grizzlies with 97mm flywheels. The huge wheels just eat up any cracks and potholes. Super smooth ride. Heavy to push, but the cruise lasts forever.
This board was a lot of fun to repaint and grip. I totally stripped it down to the bare wood. Resanded it for paint. Painted it a bright white with high gloss clear coat so the armor would have some gloss. I made some TIE fighter stencils and spray painted them onto the bottom. I then did the imperial seals at the top and bottom. A little spray of the black from far away gives it some nice little speckled stars.
For the grip, I first found a nice storm trooper stencil. Then I resized it twice more, positioned them, and cleaned up the stencil lines. Next, the lettering. I first cropped all the letters I needed from my alphabet stencil and spelled out my words. Resized the whole thing then adjusted the placement. Three days later with a razor blade and voila!
