I've never actually used skatepaint, or heard of a failure / success story from any of my visitors, so I can't really vouch for it, if you do use it please tell me how it goes.

I found a couple posts on another site re: skate paint and spar urethane as coatings for ramp surfaces. Apparently, skate paint is not very highly regarded, but spar urethane has been used with good results. And it's relatively inexpensive...

Hope you don't mind the links to another site. If anyone gives one of these methods a try, please post with your experience/results.

theres this stuff called blu wood. it treats the wood so that it doesnt get water damage, mold cant get to it, temites hate it, and if your house catches on fire your ramp wont. my buddies dad owns the company and it is based in southern california, im going to use it for my wood shop project when i make the mini half pipe..... heres the website http://www.scbluwood.com/

my ramp is way sick now its coated with skatepaint. It wasnt too expensive--better than $2000 on skatelite! I tried several other sealants at home depot etc...but they made my ramp way slippery--it sucked! i would for sure recommend skatepaint...good times!

I do not mind links if they add value to the forums such as these. I too have read that spar urethane works well, and that the value of skatepaint might be a little exaggerated in the previous post, it costs about 4x more than spar urethane. I talked with some home depot guys with a lot of paint knowledge and they agree.

I plan to test some different paints soon too see how they stand up against Minnesota weather, I will be sure to include skatepaint.
