My new "wood" top sheets. We will see how long the $1.50 roll of contact paper lasts. I did a few top coats of marine grade urethane to give it a good gloss. If this fails, then I am ordering up some REAL 1/64" wood veneer. I had to do something to the ugly graphics. I will post about the durability once they hit snow.
Lets put it to the test;
What ski is it?
elan 999?
jesus those are shiny
looks pretty slick
Movement Thunders?
That's exactly what I had in mind earlier this year for my neon Explosivs. I decided to keep them neon and ugly.
I just picked up a set of Powder Plusses; once I get the binding hole plugs sanded down flush with the topsheet, I'm going to do the woodgrain shelf paper. That looks a lot nicer than I expected it to look.
Also - are those Bros?
That looks awesome - curious to hear about durability
I was pretty blown away how good it does look. You can barely see the graphics under the paper if you look real close.Quote:

I will let y'all know how it works out
What did you use to trim the contact paper around the edges of the ski? I'm going to be doing this project soon.
Perhaps the most and 2nd most often repainted skis? I've been on repainted CMH exploders for a couple years and just finished putting the last layer of clearcoat on a pair of Pow+Quote:

Thanks -- dremel + drum is a good idea; I was wondering what to use to smooth the edges.Quote:

Sacrilege! wash your mouth out with soap. :pQuote:

did you put a gloss coat on it? they look sweet.
dan
stoked to hear how it lasts...
Me too. Especially since I am forced to close my eyes everytime I ski those things because I can't stand the sight of them.Quote:
