Good and Bad......, Friday, 09 October 2009

PROS=
Easy application.
Looks cool, especially if you have a nice looking deck and/or logos.
Goes on easliy and stays on! (comes off easliy w/ paint thinner)
SUPER GRIP in the water!

CONS=
Super gnar toxic stuff. I cant stress enough how well ventilated your work space for application of this stuff needs to be.
Everyone in the water wants to talk to you about this stuff when they see it, which gets really annoying. (thats why i waxed over it)

not sure if this is a pro or con=
Cant do a WHOLE board in it because it\'s so \"grippy\" that it\'ll shred your skin and/or suit.

Pretty cool stuff.

I have been using MP for a little over 3 months now... I am a professional surfer so my logos/stickers need to be shown clearly for all photos and video. My problems are a little different then most...

My stickers are located right where I noseride so when I walked back from the nose sometimes I would slip on my stickers. I tried to bairly wax over them to keep some sort of grip but during photoshoots I would clean them off completely so they could be ledgible.

Monster Paint makes it possible to see the logos and still hold traction. When a shot is taken im sure all my sponsors logos will be clear and clean. It helps me to be a better surfer because I don\'t have to worry about slipping on the way back from the nose. For me, it helps assure that my paychecks keep coming in.

The first day after I sprayed it on my board I had a contest and I made it to the finals, I didn\'t even think about it once. This stuff rocks its the future of traction...

Completely Sold, Saturday, 30 May 2009

Honestly, I was skeptical when I first heard about it. But after using it, I was completely sold on it. I feared that it would be either too rough or too slippery. If too rough, it would give me the traction, but it would be too abrasive. But if slippery, it wouldn't be too abrasive, but it wouldn't give me the traction needed. Well, after using it, I think this product hits a great balance between traction and softness, where it's not too rough on you while still giving you plenty of traction.

I just started using the Monster Paint Traction and love it. I use it on all my SUP's and paddles. I just started using it on my Big Kahuna Stick and my carveboard. The stuff is the bomb and looking for more things o use it on. Glad I got some on Maui.

Monster Paint, Tuesday, 07 April 2009

I've had the opportunity and privilege to put the Monster Paint through its paces.

I have been able to Nose Ride on it through its first coating of 3 layers, about 5 Min's drying time between each layer (as seen on the Monster Paint video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFb099_xTpE ). Since spraying this on my board I have not experienced any slipping. Unlike the wax that will either lose its tackiness or from it being to soft and smearing under my feet. Speaking of wax, I only need to wax about 7' of my 10' Board now. That's a savings of 3', which will really add up to a lot of Wax used in the long run.

I also got the opportunity to do some Ding Repair for a customer who had this on their board. I used a 220 grit Sand Paper to remove the Monster Paint from the area surrounding the Ding. Once the Ding was fixed, we only had to respray the repaired area. That was much easier to Fix/Repair than the Adhesive strips some guys are putting on their board.

Give the stuff a go. I'm sure you'll like it.

Monster Paint Non Slip Spray (Five Stars), Thursday, 19 February 2009

I love this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will to and here is why.

If you ride a long board and noseride, ride a SUP, use a paddle, photograph sponsored surfers this product was made for YOU (I am certain there are other uses ready to be discovered).

Here are just some of the advantages and benefits of using Monster (non-slip spray) Paint:
1. never have to wax the nose again
2. laminates, sponsor stickers, and color designs are clear and legible - making them easy to see, read and be seen when photographed
3. minimize the waxy me$$
4. easy to clean and maintain
5. one can will cover three (3) surfboard noses
6. Probably could be used on stairs, boats, RV's, skateboards, pools, patios, etc.

Made by surfers for surfers. Ask for it at your local shop.

You'll never slip again,
