You know those skis that you can do everything on cause theyre perfect for you, but have the ugliest topsheet on the mountain? Well i had a pair of those last year, so i peeled off the top sheet, went to a hardware store, bought fiberglass resin, and the fiberglass cloth shit. I put on a layer of it, let it dry than a second layer. Than i bought some spray paint and than put a clear epoxy over it and i love em and get compliments everyday about them. Im also doing it on a powder ski cause i snapped the tip of it, im going to do about 5 layers and press them. I just thought it was sick and worked well so i thought i'd tell you. If you have any questions and want to try it, let me know!

Without fucking the ski up. Sounds like an interesting idea though.
Anyone else remember the guy who sanded his Hellbents and painted that super sick octopus mural on them? Wish I could find that again.

The only reason it came of, is cause they were super chipped up. The painting took the longest and was by far the hardest part.

This is pretty sick! I don't know how you got the top sheet off but it's something I would look into doing for sure

My friend did something similar, but with afterbangs, so he just had to sand off the top sheet
