How to Make Money Painting Skateboards (Even If You’re Not a Pro Artist)

You don’t need to be a classically trained artist to sell custom skate decks — just a little creativity, some paint pens or stencils, and a niche to serve.

What You’ll Need

Where to Sell

List your painted boards on Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, Instagram Shops, or even at local pop-ups. Art decks often sell for $75–$150 depending on detail and originality.

Who Buys These?

Skaters who want a statement piece. Parents decorating teen bedrooms. Collectors. Even people who don’t skate but love the aesthetic. Market to them — not just board riders.

Bonus: Start Small with Other Gear

If painting a full board feels intimidating, start by customizing smaller items like sports cards. Here’s a guide to get you going.

You don’t need to be Banksy — just original enough to charge more than blank decks.
