this volkl rep was chatting about how the volkl karmas have a ruff and non shiny surface so you can spray on them and it wont rub of like it would with a normal shiny surface kinda cool idea but im shure it will still work on your skis o and for paint dont use emulsion ...not cool

Nothing is going to work that well. It will chip no matter how you prep them and what type of paint you use. So if your going to do it expect it to look like crap after a few days of riding.

well the best job Ive ever seen was done with a base of white spray paint, and then he drew on them with a sharpie. Trevor your skis are soooo sick. But anyway, spraypaint works good but you need to ruff it first with a scotchbrite or sandpaper with like 180 grit. And even then it chips.

Sand it up somewhat then tape the edges so the don't get sprayed. Then spray whatever and then there is this good clear coat stuff that protects the paint. Use spray paint
