Customizing your sled

[J&S customs]

Hey there anybody out there know if you can paint plastic skiis without the paint scratching off I'm actually trying to start a customization Business and wat better way to then on your own toys.

Haven't seen any that look good yet. The skis flex way to much for any paint to stick to them. Just flakes off and looks like crap.

I don't think its even worth trying. The type of plastic is designed for nothing to stick to it.

There's a few that claim that they've dyed plastic successfully. You can be the first to see if it works, but I'm also skeptical.

I've wanted to try this on a few other things. Yet another item on my to-do list.

Plastic dye is pretty popular for guys to do to their plastic dirtbike gas tanks. The plastic is available in all different colours but the tanks usually aren't.

The wedge doesn't run on gas! It runs on LHF mouth, there so much hot air in there it will never run out.

Check out hydro dipping

Krylon Fusion is a plastic paint. After seven days it cures like plastic. Painted my hood this year with it. After 2 months it seems pretty solid and ready to try for the season.

I used that stuff on the snorkels of my sxs, pretty much had it in all summer about 6 pressure washed times and still look like new. But they don't bend like a hood. But I paint a few sled windshields with the stuff and last good.

Where do you pick this stuff up at?

i think hydro dipping would be your only real option.

i have seen guys try to paint/plastidip and it simply doesnt work.

also check out slydog skis, you can order custom coloured ones from them that look really sharp.

Yep - most are made of UHMW. The paint will just wear away on the bottom and sides due to the abrasion by the snow even if you do get it to stick on the top, so it will look tacky regardless. RIT dye or buy different colour ski bottoms.
