Colouring the bases of my skis

Sup dudes

I got some Line tigersnakes but I'm not a huge fan of the base graphics. Is there a way to change it? Paint? Sharpie? Plastidip?

Not really. Anything you put on the bottom will not stick/rub off/make your skis ski like shit.

Do those skis have sintered bases? If yes then there's a possibility there's some sort of dye that could soak into the bases that you can then wax over and seal in. Otherwise you're out of luck.

If you're going to plasti dip them might as well pony up and throw on some bed liner. Don't you want your skis to be tough?

Yeah, you could cut parts out and replace them with different colors of p tex. But, ya know, that’d be psychotic and would come out horrible so I advise against that

I hear ya, some bases are terrible looking. But don’t worry dude, if someone’s seeing your bases a lot they’re thinking how badass you are, not your skis’ graphics

I’m thinking maybe do something radical like attach your bindings on the TOP of the ski, so that when you click-in the bases are facing down, toward the snow, and you don’t have to look at them.

Idk that seems a little overboard
