Painting skis

Yeah... I tried it, with spray paint, and... no. Black paint on blacks skis doesn't look too shitty, but white paint on a black skis looks like shit, especially on the tail, after only one run, it just flakes off like shit. Krylon has some paint for painting on plastic called ''Fussion'', I was wondering if any of you out there in internet land have tried it, or anything else that doesn't sucks sweaty balls.

fussion works alright, but its all about the amount of clear coat you put on top.

Dude, you gotta prep th surface if you want the paint to sick.Just scuff them up with some sand paper or steal wool. And if you have access and or use of a paint gun its works alot better than rattle canning them. My problem as of right now with my skis is that i am trying to find a clear coat that will flex with the ski so it won't crack.

that krylon fusion stuff supposedly doesnt need any prep, and is ment to go on plastic. it doesnt flake off nearly as bad as regular paint

skiing is life

without skiing i would have no life

hey, the fis is progressing. now you can only throw 2 twisters in a mogul comp.

you might want to use straps, because if you ever eject in more than a foot of powder, you wont find them until summertime

or you could tape pink and green streamers to the tails.. you'd never lose em... and neither would your friends on the hill... one b/c of the streamers... other reason b/c you could just follow the people keel-ed over laughing.

get MONTANA spray paint, made for graffiti it works very well...i have it on my skis and they have barely chiped at all. its well worth it and much much better than anything you'll find at a normal store.

if you're willing to use a roller....marine grade topside paint for boats is nearly invincible with the proper prep of sanding.......and it's shiny on its own, no need for clear coat..........tho it'll be hard to find unless you have a marine hardware store in the area
