You probably rushed it or did something really wrong, I painted my bmx 2 months ago and it takes a thrashing and hasnt even scratched. You need to rought up the clearcoat with like 500 grit sandpaper, 1-3 coats of primer, 1-3 coats of your color(s) and then 2 really light layers of clearcoat for it to work well.

Those look good! quality job. Im thinking about doing that to a pair of old atomic triplets I got. Would it be alright if I took the bindings off to paint the skis then put the bindings back on afterwards or should I just leave the bindings on and tape them off?

just tape them off. i used a plastic sandwich bag over the binding. then just use blue painters tape to seal it at the base of the binding.
