Poster: A snowHead
|
I have a pair of skis that my daughter wants to paint white as the graphics are not to her liking and wondered if anyone had ever done anything like this or if you had any tips on what type of paint to use etc?
I know it is a little strange but i have a teenage daughter.......and i do what i'm told!
Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I resprayed a substantial portion of my old snowboard which was originally an off beige/grey, and it held up fine. Used Plasti-kote stuff for plastics. If the surface of the ski is very smooth you may need to key it before spraying (gently rough up the surface with fine sandpaper). Couple of coats and you'll have a pair of snow-whites planks. Tape up anything you DONT want painted of course, and remove the bindings if you can. Usual spraying rules apply, multiple thin coats builds up a better finish, never start and end the paint stroke on the thing your painting etc etc etc.

Oh yeah, and a clear coat of clear acrylic at the end will protect your paintwork from day to day dings and scratches.

You could always get some white helicopter tape and use that if it's wide enough to cover the ski. Either that, or contact a firm who do vehicle wraps and see if they could do it for you with the plastic they use.

Could you not use heat shrink, self adhesive plastic / mylar film?
A hobby / RC model shop should have a selection of colors and gages, it's often used to cover model airplan wings, etc.
