Yeah suuuuure you did, I also bring things home from work that I find in the "garbage". I'm sure K2 has cooler stuff laying around than my shop though.

just paint them, but before you just throw some white paint down...(1)sand the topsheet with fine sand paper, so the paint has something to adhere to. (2) prime the surface with primer, which you can buy in spray form, this keeps the original graphic from showing through,(3) then paint the surface whatever color you want, and try to use rusto cause its thick ass paint. (4) do your independant study

email the companies that make them in house.
im sure someone could list those and ask for a blank pair. you'll have to pay for them fully no doubt, but it shouldn't be that hard to find.

You could email or call K2 and ask them if they would do a special thing for you.

i was thinking about this today. like a company just make skis with out graphics and only colors like white, blue, black, red, ect. kind of how so many skate companies do their boards. it saves money and people wont avoid buying you skis because they dont like the color because they could choose from a variety of colors

wait, if you wanted to put your own graphic on, wouldnt you want a ski WITHOUT a topsheet at all. unless im misstakin, you would put the graphic on and it wouldnt be covered by anything, so it would be scratched off rather quickly

what about bluehose, wouldnt they have some blanks seeing as they just started up. I would think they would have a pair lying around without any graphics.
