Grip tape is a sandpaper like material with an adhesive backing that can be applied to a skateboarding board, scooter or the pegs of a BMX bike to provide a friction surface for your feet. You can use liquid corrective pens, fine-point permanent markers or paint markers to write on grip tape. You will need to use bright colors to write on black grip tape, or other contrasting colors if you are writing on colored grip tape.
Write on grip tape using a liquid corrective pen designed to write over or cover-up mistakes made on paper.
Stroke the grip tape gently with the corrective pen, writing only individual letters or small words at a time. This will help keep the tip of the corrective pen firm.
Shake the corrective pen between letters to keep the pen from drying out. Refrain from touching the wet grip tape for two hours or until the writing is dry.
Fine-point Permanent Marker
Choose a fine-point permanent marker to write on colored grip tape. Use dark colors to write on bright grip tape, or bright colors to write on black or dark grip tape.
Use firm strokes to write on the grip tape. Going back over the markings several times with the same color marker will help to increase the visibility of the writing on the grip tape.
Let the grip tape dry overnight. Refrain from touching the grip tape while it is drying to prevent the writing from smearing.
Paint Marker
Use a paint marker to write long-lasting and fast drying words on grip tape. Select a color that contrasts with the color of the grip tape. Neon paint markers work best for writing on black grip tape, while black markers work best for all other colors of grip tape.
Keep the paint marker at a vertical slant while writing on the grip tape, shaking the paint marker to distribute more paint to the tip of the marker as needed.
Let the painted grip tape dry for one hour. If you wish to paint over areas of the grip tape that have already been painted, allow the painted grip tape to dry overnight.
