Honestly spray pain comes right off on any part you actually slide and even from the beginning barely has any impact

Worth asking how are your edges? Pvc slides eerily weirdly fast even when dry a lit of times. Obviously some water with your skis is good. But are your edgea digging in or is the paint realy that globbed up?

to be fair, is there any haunted house or building in the world that doesn't have PVC in it?
is it just correlation, or maybe causation???

Take your scary clowns, chainsaw masacre fuxkers, and get the hell out. If every room isn't mostly pvc i want my money back. Even if it doesn't kill you, the most successful pvc slide still haunts my dreams with strangely silent slipperiness. What the fuck is even made of? Some sort of nuclear waste mixed with magic cast in voodoo spells.

If nothing else proof that aliens have visited our planet.

scrape your ski along it and knock that spray paint off, then spray some WD-40 on there and keep scraping it around to make sure it's sliding well. you can reapply the WD-40 every so often to keep it really fast

you'll be good!

obv painting it was pretty dumb but unscrew it from the wood and flip it over so you have the side with no paint

I dont see how spray pain can have much of an impact. It comes off real quick even on a skateboard anywhere you're sliding. Even dull edges tske more off skiing.

Should be able to scrqpe it off with your skis or a smooth ish piece of metal that wont burr it. Anything that isn't where your skis are sliding won't impact your speed.

Keeping it moist and having detuned or dull edges where you're sliding should be all you need. Spray paint really shouldn't be an issue. Even thicker paints should scrape off fairly easily.

Scrape the surface clean snd check your edges.

Silicone spray isn't too expensive and works really well. Some parks use it for boxes. Prolly like 5 bucks a can
