Colour Matching/Colour Pigment Fill

Pigment fill is usually recommended for coloured board repairs. A matched pigment is We have extensive experience in colour matching boards. Wherever possible we add a resin-tint or pigment to the resin to achieve the desired colour. Pigment fill is usually recommended for coloured board repairs. A colour-matched pigment is used on the repaired area to closely match the original colour. This method ensures that if you resell or trade your board in, there are not going to be any nasty surprises hiding under coats of paint. With clear boards we can use this method too, however, as a board ages and yellows it becomes a more difficult and time-consuming process. In these cases, we tend to go by the motto “show your scars”. Please note that colour matching often takes a little longer and some colours – particularly bright fluorescent colours can be more difficult to match.

Pin-Lines

If you have a board with pin lines, we have you covered. Often rail dings will destroy those beautiful pin lines and they can definitely reduce the value of your board, or might just get annoyed every time you see that ding. We have been doing pinlines for as long as we have been in business and we can have your board looking like itself.
