alright so this is all about the... idk how to put it more efficient way of painting skis but i don know exactly how i have to do it, that is why i am asking anyone who might know, ok well my brother is going to college for art and what not, and he has acess to a really nice very big very expensive printer that can print out you guess it fiberglass, so how would i go about getting a fiberglass image on to my skis, would i sande them down to their fiber glass and lay the image on and fiber glass it up, but then what would i do to the roughness of the top? questions, anyone have suggestions? other materials? idk HELP!

Actually, a guy I know sands down the tops of all the shitty skis he uses for water ramps, then adheres fiberglass ontop, and the result is an incredibably ugly ski that doesn't break when it hits the water from quite a ways up. It makes them really stiff as well. Another friend of mine learned from him, then tried it himself, and ended up almost breaking his skis, so you might want to look more into it.
