painting a ski

[new_guy23]

i just bought a stand up and they guy before me tried to paint it, looks like spray paint, anyways, does anyone know how to paint a ski..i called a place and they said 500 dollars..can anyone else do it for cheaper or around the same price????

$500 is not a bad price at all. It was $400 for mine and I did 90% of the prep work. I actually am going to repaint it again as the current job has issues that need to be fixed.

Or you could talk to JB on here (AKA Capt Overspray!)

I did not paint my ski. It came that way from the guy in Iowa that I bought it from. He just painted over the factory stickers and didn't prep anything before putting a sweet coat of John Deere green on it to match his Kawi MX bike. I guess the farm and fleet in Iowa was fresh out of kelly lime green. I know there is alot of guys on PWCToday.com that have used a rattle can to put somewhat decent paint jobs on thier skis. You might want to ask them.
