Paint cracking

[ferracattack]

Today was the first day on my new salomon suspects and after a day of skiing (not very aggressively), I saw a 2 inch chip by the edge of my right ski that took the paint right off. I'm seeing other spots where some paint is cracking and most likely will chip.What is going on and how can i fix this??? +k for answers!

use clear epoxy and let it set, they just sand it dont with really high wet and dry sand paper like start of with 400 then go to 800 then 1000. is should be all clear and shinny

^ thanks i'll try this +k

 

[FreezerKid]

np, use a slow dry epoxy beacuse this will set hard and allow for the best finish

heres where you went wrong.

 

[ferracattack]

what brand epoxy do you suggest

 

[FreezerKid]

i just use whatever i can get my hands on, but though only real brand i can rember of the top of my head is arlidite, just go to a hardware shop or wallmart and talk to someone but just make sure it is slow dry

topsheets chip, get used to it, not a big deal unless core gets exposed.

yeah it wouldn't bother me if the core wasn't exposed like it is on like a 3 inch chip.

Like he said, get used to it. I have 2011 Suspects and have 4-5 inch chips all along the side, it's just cosmetic so it doesn't matter. Plus it happens to all skis.

whenever you can see the core just slap some epoxy over it then to make sure its sealed.
