^thanks jeff. and i have gone skiing a few times with the paint on it and it hasnt come off at all...but you might want to put a coat of something over it. try finding SKI SAV-R online somewhere. it works pretty well.

its this spray that a company makes, its just like a clear spray paint kind of thing that you spray on the topsheet and it makes it so it doesnt scratch off.

yeah you cant paint over the bases, and also how the hell are you going to make it look like that computer generated stuff

It is possible to make it look like as pictured, by having the design specially printed out as a sticker then stick it on then put a clear protective coating over it to prevent it from peeling & chipped. Like a former snowboard company called 2Phace, they did it few years ago and it worked well. There's no limits on designing your pair of skis, it only requires crafty skills.
