So ive only had my tyrolia attacks for 2 days now. and in those two days a decent amount of paint has come off. and not just the heel piece either. I dont have a picture since im in school but ill get one if people are interested in the afternoon. Is there anyway to stop this?

1. They're bindings. The paint is only cosmetic and battle scars are cool.

2. If you're still concerned, mask your skis and blast it with some rattle can clear coat. It should help prevent paint from scratching or flaking

My only real concern was if thepaint was coming off that easy if the actual binding would eventually start to get damaged.(only the heal from taking it off with my skis)

They're fine. It's the same shit with top sheets on park skis or any skis for that matter.

I guess the plastic will start to get scratched and chewed up from you stomping on them with your skis but it will probably just be cosmetic unless you stomp super hard on them and manage to crack the heel piece

Are you hiking rails, or putting them on, skiing all day and then taking them off?

As long as there's no functional damage its irrelevant.

Tools not jewels man. First nicks on new gear always bums me out too but once the second and third ones come its no biggie anymore. It happens.
