Thanks
I used Plasti-kote Vinyl Color spray paint (as can be seen in the article on my website ;-)
I did a lot of reading about what was best to use, and it looks like the Plasti-Kote stuff gets good reviews while the much more widely available Dupli-Color vinyl paint apparently doesn't hold up as well. So far my board is holding up great to hours of daily abuse. The only complaint I have is I wish it were slightly less glossy.
As for putting it on, I just sprayed it from the can. It's important not to put on thick coats. I think I put on about 5 thin coats which helps prevent runs and bubbles. Pretty easy to do really. Make sure your board is clean first though, a good scrub down with some rubbing alcohol will help the dye adhere better.
