How much weight does painting your skis add?

chiefclulJust spray painted mime and got some on the edge of tip. Does anyone know how to get it off and if i will affect the ski that much?

Titsandwich11haha yeah i know. it's more so i just hate the color orange and think it has no place out in the snowy mountains (these will be part time touring skis) when you can help it

so maybe ill just lightly spray paint the orange parts or something and that would ensure that the weight diff is infinitesimal. that's prob a better idea

PS i love your show

epapageorgesPaint would probably add like 5 pounds duck tape more like 10. Totally worth it though

i painted mine, they looked dope for 4 days of skiing till all the pain chipped off

Titsandwich11Does anyone know? What about when you cover them with duck tape?

I might buy a pair of skis that are sorta bright and douchey looking and i know, theyre only graphics, but id prefer them to not be so gaudy. but obviously not if it adds too much weight

i'd either spray paint them and have a friend draw some shit on them, or tape em, or just spray paint them one color

(also yeah, i know spray paint chips, no worries there)

thanks!

chiefclulIm spray painting mine and just thinking of having a can ready for when they chip and just fill it in

Mr.BishopDUCT TAPE THAT SHIT! Bonus points for dirt baggery out of the box. Fuck the weight, its not much.

i used to do diagonal strips

Titsandwich11haha funny mental image, sitting on the lift touching up your skis with spray paint, offering it to fellow passengers



yeah that might be dope. maybe ill just stick some camo duct tape on the orange bits that bother me. "dirt baggery out of the box" hahah

RusticlesTry Plasti dip then just add another coat when it chips??? Ive spray bombed a number of skis, same thing, just touch it up every few weeks if it bothers you.

LonelyHonestly plastidip is super tough. Did the sideskirt of my forester. Did some fast driving over some rocks and held up fine and is still looking good after almost 2 months. Not to mention its cheap.

rozboonThe problem with Plastidip is that (depending what it's on) if it starts coming off a little bit the whole lot comes off shortly afterwards.

If you want spraypaint to stick, you'll want to lightly rough up the topsheet with something like a scouring pad then primer it with something that will properly etch plastic. A lot of generic etch primers these days will adhere reasonably well to plastic, just check the can.
Primer is key to getting the paint to stick, if you're just going for the murdered out look you can get matt black etch primer and then you won't even have to topcoat it...

i used to do diagonal strips of duct tape all the way down both skis with about a width of duct tape in between. So they were duct tape stripes and was sweet. Did it with the OG 1080s.



Yeah painting lasts like two seconds. Not worth it. Maybe there are some paint gurus on here that know what kind of magical paint would actually last.
