And don't use spray paint unless you want the ghettoist looking skis around. Look for a special kind of spray paint that bonds to plastic, Like Krylon's Fusion series, sand your skis throuoghly with high-grit (fine) sand-paper. Paint on a warm, day sunny, dust-less day. Paint many light coats, you get the idea.
