Title: Bob Haro "grip tape"
Post by: factory pilot on January 05, 2014, 04:04 PM: toying with the idea of putting some on my homage to bob freestyler.
what can I use ?
I know it was scotch m3 or summit originally and I know you can't get this anymore so what is the next best thing that will look authentic enough? :daumenhoch:

help please?
cheers Ant
