Oil-Based Skateboard Paint Pens V1

The first version of my oil-based skateboard paint pens, built to fix how quickly standard markers faded on griptape.

What I Did

  1. 01 Sourced and bench-tested paint bases against skateboard griptape for wear and color retention.
  2. 02 Designed the first applicator and packaging for the line.
