Changing binding color

I need my bindings be highly visible, although they are black originally.

I know, metal parts can be powder coated. What about plastic?
Any other options to change metal/plastic parts color?

as tried search bar, too many b/s/t topics, nothing I could find about it.

There's this new crazy shit called spray paint. I heard it completely eliminates the need to use a brush!

Anything you do to alter your bindings is bad news and opens the door for release issues. Not to mention no shop will touch them. Don't do it.

I want them so bright, as you would see me comming from 2km away.

I like gay colors. I dont give a single fuck if you have anything against gay.

3 pairs of same skis, hassle to pick up right one. Stickers just wont do.

im gonna get crazy here and assume he wants to be able to see them easily, for instance when he loses them in deepish snow

but like someone else said, i'm not sure that's a good idea, painting bindings will 1) make a shop dude never want to touch them, and 2) maybe have unwanted side effects on the bindings

Try plasti-dipping, a lot of people do it with their full tilts

No. DO NOT. Basically, spraying paint or Plasti-Dip onto your bindings may change the gap tolerances of internal parts that are EXTREMELY dependent on them. Spray a few mils of plastic or paint down into them and you could be very seriously effecting your binders' safety release and never know it.

If you want a brighter pair, sell the ones you have and buy bright ones. For real dude, nobody wants to see you get hurt being steezy. Paint or Dip anything but not bindings. It's just not something I'd fuck with that much I can be sure of.

if you really need to be able to differentiate skis, you could either paint/plastidip the topsheets of the skis, that way you dont fuck with bindings. or cover the other pairs in stickers and leave this one blank

or just dont be a dumbass and grab the wrong pair of skis. put a specific sticker on each and know that those are the ones you want to take
