So I'll be painting my ski in the next few days....

in case you dont know its a sj550. What should be my primary solid color? And what should I make my color scheme be? I am a fan of red with the black carbon bottom. It just really stands out.

However I have been itching to make something with some obnoxious neon Green/Orange/Pink decals and secondary design forever. Since my ski is usually (read: always) the loudest ski anywhere I go, I might do something really in your face.

I need to get this done sometime this week so I can take pictures and start trying to get sponsorships for my attempt to participate in the 2010 racing season...


Also, the nose will be carbon, matching the bottom.... so maybe some cool incorperation with that.


So tell me.... What would be the classiest, coolest, or Most obnoxious paint scheme?

Also, someone just told me hydroturf just came out with a brown camo design that looks just like woodgrain.... I think it might be killer to have a woody design with some beat up satin brown paint and some airbrushing on top....

Thats the thing... I could really go with whatever color? Though I'm not a fan of many blue shades...


When its all said and done, I like classy and simple color schemes as opposed to busy schemes like Ive seen on lots of blowsion skis and what not..

Unless of coarse its gaudy as hell and neon with lots of straight lines and sharp angles. <3 80s.


And yea, your probably right about the wood, but it was just an idea ive been toying with.

hmm... I have considered white. I always love old white boats with stock kawi graphics. They always look clean with minimal care... but I'm not sure if it will be a bit of an understatement next to all that carbon.
 
neon yellow base and dark purple swoops! or other way around.

when i went to the river when i was small i always used to see one like this and thought it was sooo sweet.

Bombardier got it finally right in 1998... the perfect bumble-bee...

If you can replicate it, it will look sick and ironic.
