i started with a ski i had painted a few years ago and decieded it was time to rebuild it.this is what i came up with. i got rid of the rail holes and the pads on the hood.

Nice job! Paint looks great. You should do the bond rails to, to help break up the black a little bit from the side

Are you using dap weldwood or the self sticky stuff?

Try sanding both the paint surface and the turf with 60 grit. Then clean with acetone.

I used the turf with the 3m adhesive for the rails on my skis. The first 4 or 5 rides I had to glue it back down with DAP contact cement where it lifted, but now it stays on fine. If I were to do it again I would use the turf without adhesive and just use contact cement from the start.
