ok, so i have a lot of free time this summer and i was thinking of sanding down the housing on a pair of p18's and re painting them the color of my liking. anyone have any thoughts on this? and how different do you think a metal to is to like a plastic one.

It'll be hard to get in all those little area with it, a dremel with a small sanding head would be easiest.

it really wasnt that much. like an hour and a half sanding, an hour max tapeing then like a half hour spread out of painting.

They look sweet man, especially on the T-halls...
If you wanted be really intricate, you could contine the rasta pattern down over the binding for the right ski, but that'd take ages and you'd need it to be on the ski.

Hmm, Im actually thinking of doing that to my gold fks. What grain of sandpaper did you use. Should I even sand mine? They have never been used. Maybe just use primer?

my boots are a disgusting colour white now and I'm just wondering if I sand them down and make them smooth and shit, would I be able to spray paint them white and then add like clearcoat or would they just chip and look like shit?

paint on boots doesnt stay. It chips really easily, no matter what kind of paint and clear coat you use. Well, from my experience.

Yea about the Boot question: I think boots flex to much, and the paint would probably just flake off and crack. If you could find some super flexible extreme conditions paint you might be alright.

And those binders look so sick...
