i just got the silencers and dont like the fact that u cant see the graphics when the skis are wet. i wanted to sticker it up or spraypaint stencils on it. would the spraypaint come off if i wanted to sell them later on?

make sure it is think cardboard ,like the side of a case of soda.  Or like the clear plastic for projectors is nifty too.

Make sure when you spray, you spray from far away like a foot or more. Make sure you spray in a sweeping motion until the color is solid. the biggest mistake beginner sprayers do is they spray from up close cuz they think the color wont be solid. But make sure its from far away. Um see if you can get mattyb to make you some huge diecut stickers as stencils cuz then you can make like O's and like shapes with like full circles kinda.

I made a 4FRNT stencil with the cover of an old Transworld Skateboarding magazine. I cut it out with a razor blade. Then i put scotch tape over the whole stencil on both sides and cut out the tape on the letters. Its held up really good and i've used it like 50 times.

Don't spraypaint the skis, the Silencers are sick, plus when you do go to sell them and use paint remover it might leave some marks on the skis and make it look like shit.

maybe you could trace the graphic with tracing paper, put it on cardboard and then spray paint it so its a different color.

yeah i have this years silencers, saw next years too. i couldnt tell what the graphic was, but i saw a white one that looked like it had th same graphic... dunno what model.

but i def. wouldnt spray my silencers. they already look sick, the graphics arent sposed to stick out or anything like armada does and some other skis. and plus it would be mad hard to get all those k2 crosshair things on the tip.

i absolutely love the fact that you really can't see the graphics. makes it very james bond-ish.
but you can design them anyway you want then.
