I plan on getting a Tan Tien very soon and before the spring when I can really ride it, I want to paint the trucks that I will be getting with the board. Any good way to do it on your own that is cheap and easy? +K for help.
 
if you are asking these questions, you should be asking yourself, "do i have the intelligence to do this?" it's simple man, take off anything that you should obviously not paint, like bushings, wheels(bearings in them), washers. apply paint, it could be fucking finger paint for christ sake, but spray paint would obviously be the most effective. tape off metal you don't want to paint. paint. allow a hefty time to dry (max on can at least, so it will decrease chances of peeling). reassemble. and ride. it probably will chip off eventually because it's a longboard though, and if you do it wrong it will look shitty. not worth it in my opinion. the gunmetal looks tight anyways (i imagine they are Paris or Randall's?)
 
step one: take them off

step two: apply paint

step three: allow ample time to dry

step four: re-assemble

NativeClothing-i dont spi
 
if you want them to not look retarded after a week get them powder coated. its really expensive, but is the only way that will last more than a week.
but why the fuck do you care what colors your trucks are?
 
nah i'm pretty sure they're all like the same. i bought a pair of paris purple passions and they were only like $45 or $40
 
Well Krylon makes some good paints. Tape over the axles, and you might wanna find some type of clear coast/enamel to protect the paint.
