Painting a fingerboard park DIY
In this video, I’m taking you through my full process of painting a fingerboard spot to make it look super realistic! 🎨🛹 This started as a simple project where I wanted to paint one obstacle in my park, but once I saw the difference, I realized I had to go all-in and paint the entire park to match. Let’s be honest — bare cement can look a bit flat and basic. So, I broke out the paints and brushes to bring this fingerboard spot to life. I used a light wash of grey as my base coat to give it that true concrete vibe. Then, I mixed in some black to mimic the grind marks and waxed areas that you’d see at real skate spots.
To finish it off, I added subtle white highlights for extra depth and texture, making the surface pop and giving it that weathered, street-realistic look. Throughout the video, I show you the specific brushes and painting techniques I used — from dry brushing to light washes and detailing — so you can follow along and apply this to your own fingerboard obstacles or park. Whether you’re painting a ledge, manual pad, or any cement DIY spot, these methods will help elevate the realism and vibe of your park! Once I finished painting, of course, I had to grab a few clips to break in the new setup!
🔥 Nothing beats seeing your freshly painted park come to life in video. If you enjoyed this tutorial or learned something new, let me know in the comments! I’m hyped to keep painting my park and next up I’ll be adding graffiti details to the spots for even more character.
