For a lasting, high-quality cornhole board, use these materials:

• Exterior latex paint: Best paint for cornhole boards; choose a durable, weather-resistant finish.
• Wood stain: Adds a classic touch to certain areas or enhances natural wood grain.
• Acrylic paint: Acrylic paint is ideal for fine details and vibrant colors.
• Painter’s tape and stencils: Essential for creating crisp lines and creative cornhole board patterns.
• Polyurethane sealer: This seals the paint, protects from wear, and gives boards a slick finish for smooth gameplay.
• Sanding sponge or an orbital sander: Prepares surfaces for painting or repainting.

Before painting cornhole boards, proper prep makes all the difference for a professional look.

1. Sand the Surface: Whether you’re working on new boards or wondering how to repaint cornhole boards, start with a 3M Sandblaster Sanding Sponge for a smooth, even surface.
2. Apply a Primer: Use Extreme Bond Primer from Sherwin-Williams to create an even base and help colors adhere effectively, ensuring durability and a long-lasting finish.
   

• Classic Two-Tone: Use SuperPaint Exterior Acrylic Latex in contrasting shades for a sharp, two-tone look.
• Bold Designs with Stencils: Create eye-catching designs with stencils and add pops of color using Acrylic Paint.
• Wood-Stained Accents: Try Minwax Wood Tintable Stain on specific areas for a rustic, natural wood touch before painting.

1. Apply the Base Color: For a rich, weather-resistant finish, apply at least two coats of A-100 Exterior Acrylic Latex Paint. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step.
2. Add Your Design: Use painter’s tape to mark off sections or place stencils to create designs. Acrylic Paint works well for vivid detail work.
3. Remove Tape Carefully: Peel off the tape while the paint is still tacky to avoid smudging or peeling.
   

To keep your cornhole boards looking fresh and prevent damage from weather and play:

• Apply Sher-Clear Waterborne Sealer: This clear, weather-resistant sealer adds a protective coat and makes your cornhole boards slick for smooth gameplay.
• Paint Multiple Thin Coats: Apply several thin coats to achieve a high level of durability and a long-lasting, smooth finish.
