I've got the marker Griffons in white and grey, and they look kinda dull..

I've seen people paint they're bindings before, and i thought why not?

Is there anything you guys recomend i do to prevent it from fucking up?

Help gets K+

Sorry for my bad english. I'm from Norway..

Hey, I really wouldn't reccomend painting your bindings. There's a possibility that the paint could corrode the plastic on the binding. Also if paint got into any of the mechanical areas of the binding, there's a risk that the binding wouldn't be able to function properly, really something you don't want to chance. You may also have a hard time trying to find a shop to mount them for you once you've painted them. Due to the nature of kind of things that happen when your bindings fuck up, shops don't tend to like to mount bindings which have been messed with.

Yep no shop will touch a modified binding even if it is just paint. That being said, you should be more concerned with your skiing than the color of your bindings. Just say-en.

wouldn't paint, but you could get away with dyeing the plastic on them, there is a great thread on here about dyeing boots you should check out

Dying comes with the same issues as painting. You dont know what the dye is doing to the mechanics of the binding or the integrity of the plastic. Bindings arent to be fucked with. Just accept you have dull coloured bindings or buy new, suitable bindings.

rit dye doesnt affect the structure of plastic, and its basically just water, so alsong as you wash it out after dying dont see how its gona damage any insides of the bindings the same way they are if they get wet in a pond skim or a slushy day
