Why would you want to paint your skis?

But if you really want to...


Watercolor is the way to go.

I've heard that the high heat spray paint works well... the stuff that you would use to paint a stove

yea there's a bunch of threads about it if you search, but just so you know, mine are drying as i type this, just did the first of the top coats. i have 05 PEs and i'm pretty much following the same steps as the other dude w/ 04 PEs. I sanded the top, plastic primered it w/ 2 coats and i just did 3 coats of plastic white spray paint. now I just have to come up w/ a design for it. the reason i'm using paint specifically for plastic is because i saw a boarder use auto paint and it chipped like crazy, so maybe the plastic will work better since my skis are plastic feelin.

well, when i painted my ar5s hot pink all i did was sand down the top and use spray paint it was pretty ill because while the pink was wet i took gold and lightly sprayed over it so it was pink with a gold sparkle.
