May be totally wrong, but it looks like they wrapped them with camo fabric...

I would love to do this, but have no clue how they did it. They might have cut out a camo pattern with painters tape on the tongue, then spray painted it in layers with the different colors. That would probably be the easiest way to do it.

Most likely a vinyl wrap. Super easy to do and can get pretty much any pattern you want. Saw someone do a carbon fiber wrap

Honest question: Why do kids care what color their boot tongues or cable covers are? Your baggy ski pants are going to be covering them anyways...

Pretty sure it's a lot of spray adhesive and bandanas stretched over it. Whatever it is that's a really cool mod!

This is what they said:

"Started with a 3M spray adhesive that we put right on the tongue, including a little bit on the edges of the back of them as well. Then stretched a thin standard bandana or necktube fabric with just a slight stretch being sure to get the fabric seated in the grooves of the tongues. If you carefully wrap and trim around to the spray adhesive... you can use a thin strip of gorilla tape to seal up the back half. That's it, took a couple tries to get it right, but we've got it dialed now. We are getting a bunch from Full Tilt to do and sell at some point soon!"

Fulltilt actually made a boot with camo tongues on it back in 2007.

if you cover the tongues in an adhesive you might tamper with the flex/performance of the tongues.

i know you could plasti dip it also, not as good as the hydro because plasti dip chips overtime, my friend had it on his rims on his jeeps, but either way works for just ski tongues, definitely wanna try this.

I did this, works really well except snow gets stuck on tongue so it kind of defeats the purpose. Couldn't feel a difference in flex, took mine off because the snow got stuck.
