So yeah....i got some a-frames which i dont use and i thought it would be rather snazzy to change their colourway to a more upscale version...im feeling rasta ala electric or maybe something else. Has anyone done this? Got any advice?

sell those, buy 10 dollar goggles and put car tint on the lenses, and use the rest of the money to ski

Paint them a color(s) that make them glowy. I saw some guys with orange goggles that were really glowy and I thought that was pretty nifty.

I spray painted some old smiths I found under my bed with a mist of silver, with pin, yellow and white. I think they cam out pretty pimp.

fucking idiot.
you ever made little stencils?
like, a design small enough to fit on a GOGGLE FRAME? and then it has to wrpa and still keep the paint off.
so good luck making a cool design and then cutting it out and getting good clean lines.

wow you need to think outside of the box, broseph. all you need to do is cut out a little design, either tape off or remove the lenses, and then go to town with some spray paint. repeat it as many times as you would like. no one said you had to make a stencil that would wrap around the entire goggle. dick.

one suggestion, u mite wanna remove the lense b4 u start. But anyways i saw some people cut up stickers and put it on their goggles and it looked pretty sick. I was thinking about doing that this year as well.

^yes i was thinking of that too. But does anyone actually have experience of painting their goggles? Would you recommend spray-paint or like a model paint? And would you sand down the finish on the goggles first? Cheers.

if you do the spray paint you need the kind that is mad efor plastic.
and you should go for camo, not he kind that tey already sell, but the camo the the army uses. and use masking tape.

no....i am not retarded.. i meant to say the stencil had to be stocky enough to keep paint from going under the edges.
i mean, polka dots would work i guess.
or something...
but goggle frames are so small to work with... and the stencil has to match the countour of the fram otherwise it will not mkae the design you want.
