Has anyone customized their top sheets? (i.e Paint them)

If so can you let me know how it turned out. Maybe some pics.

Will give K++ for good answers

My friend's sister has done a few for him. They're completely Sharpie I believe. The problem is sealing the artwork so it will hold up to all the abuse we put our skis through. She def did a sick job on these skis though.

I don't know exactly what she sealed them with but they weren't very durable. Finding the best finish would take some experimenting.

IF you just want solid colors, I've seen alot of people who simply duct tape theirs. not exactly a proffesional look but hey if your skis are already beat up they can only get better..

I have. its very easy. remove bindings (ideally), Lightly sand, paint (spray paint), clear coat, reinstall bindings (epoxy screws in for no chance of pullout), and your done. pics in my profile
