I painted zebra skis

Like any kid growing up I wanted to have my own pro model, however dreams often do not come true, and with my skiing I realized that it simply wasn't going to happen unless i took matters into my own hands... so i took my shit 170 ninthwards that i use for urban and painted them...

they've been used a couple times since, so the paint has chipped a bit, i did them by spraying a couple layers of white and then taping them and then using an exacto knife to cut the shapes out

no, i was a bit worried that they would come off, but i used outdoor paint and the only place that ive had problems with the paint are the areas where they were cracked before, i sanded them before i put the base layer on and have yet to run into any problems

Oh cool, I didn't know. Hopefully that idea catches on though. It'd be bomb to have custom skis
