Old ski poles.

hey i just found these old ski poles so i  took the old handles and baskets off and cut them to size. Then i took the paint off them with some sand paper and sprayed them with primer and then sprayed them black and also put better but still old handles and baskets. After a while decided to experiment with a weird design. So i  masked off the handles and baskets and wrapped them in string then gave em a coat of white followed by a few coats of clear and this was my result.

what do you reckon?

That is soooo dope! Really man, nice job!
They look much nicer than the special-made-park-poles (armada, line etc.)
Just very simple, white and yellow, and a small black line!

Looks really nice man! You might wanna start a shop!

Nb, really nice pics! What camera you shootin' with?

I've done this before, you're gonna want to spray em with clear coat to protect them from chipping. I mean they'll still chip away after a while but clear coat prevents some.
