BTTF - Valterra Skateboard

[EmmaInCandyland]

Hi everyone ! I know there have been a few thread about this, but I was wondering if you could help me on making my Valterra skateboard a bit more accurate!

So I just won one on ebay >

I am planning to remove the grip tape and add a new one, remove the bars etc on the other side of the board, change the wheels, paint the splatters and try to remove the double effect on it :x (not sure if i'm clear xD)

So I was wondering, do you guys know what would be the best type of paint for this? I was actually thinking of a posca pen ^^....
Also are the splatters purple or pink? In the movie they look purple to me but everybody seems to make it pink... Mh.

Another thing, do you have any ideas where I could get the right stickers? Did anyone made a vector for this or something? ^^
Or someone here that are selling them?

And finally, do you know where I could find the sort of white coppers for the trucks?! (Or should I just paint the ones that are already on it :x)

Thanks a lot :')!!!

I don't know if anyone has made them, but if there's someone who could post good photos of both sides of a screen used or 100 % screen matched board, I'm sure I could make accurate vector files (for free download of course) as soon as I find the time for it.

That would be really nice of you, I could try to, but can't find good resolution of these ^^

By the way, according to you, are the splatters pink or purple? ^^

Would these be good enough resolution for you ?

I think i'll make the back the same purple as it appears on the front, some sort of blue/pink purple, like a darker magenta somehow XD

Thanks for the pics By the way, could you help me for the stickers? Did you make yours?!

Thanks again ^^

I'm working on the Madrid sticker just now (the one with above the bottom wheels) Do you guys know the font used for this?

(It's not exactly like the one you got on your board )

Err this looks to be a bright magenta to me xD

I'm playing a bit with photoshop, so it's not a vector, but I think it should be something like this I presume?

Sadly the pictures are not mine

I also haven't made any stickers for my own,
so I can't help you with that either.

But I guess if your good with photoshop you can probably
make a vector of the pattern and then have it printed on a sticker.

I'm good with photoshop, but I haven't made any vectors yet.
I can select and copy the pattern with the "pen" tool for example,
but does that mean that you've created a vector ?
I don't know.

Also for making the sticker, I'll need the exact measurements of the original off-course.

I'll have a go at that front sticker.

I'll post it here, when done.

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

That's okay ! Yeah I will try to make mine also XD So we can have different versions and pick the best we like

I just wish I had a better picture of the one on the back with the green/red splatters things x)
I could find a brush on photoshop otherwise and tr to make them XD! Any ideas for the font?

 

[Soxbrother]

I did a quick version of the first part of the sticker



Tell me what you think

 

[Soxbrother]

I found the logo online and replaced it on the first part.

 

[Soxbrother]

My version of the sticker is finished

I hope you like it Emma.

Yup Looks nice ! Is it not mean to be a bit more straight though? I mean it's really shaky x) I'm just wondering

 

[Soxbrother]

Do you mean the perspective ?

When a photo is taken, it can loose it's perspective a bit,
or could be that the sticker originally is crooked.

Check your skateboard for that.

I've fixed it

Thanks

By the way, are the wheels meant to be fly madrid wheels? I cannot see any pictures that allow me to identify the brand of the wheels ^^

Otherwise I found these, what do you guys think?

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Okay I finished to make the 2 logos and then i'll start working on the splatter logo ^^

What do you guys think?^^

 

[EmmaInCandyland]

Mmh do you guys know where I could find Madrid Fly wheels by any chance? :/

Wow you would make my day if you had an extra set of wheels *0*

I have finally finish to cover the double effect of the splatters Took me 5 hours to do that (2 layers of paint)
Now I need to make the splatters magenta and rework a bit on the yellow

I'm looking into building this board from scratch as just a display piece to have a new clean look. The first thing I'm looking for is a blank skateboard deck, but can't find the right design. Even when I search vintage. Does this shape of board have a name?
