Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repaint or refinish the exterior?

FAQ's
I generally don't repaint metal or refinish wood for a number of reasons. The main reason is that it's not original anymore. If it only has a few minor scratches or scuffs, it's better to leave it alone. Painting metal with a paint can or sprayer just doesn't cut it as the paint is going to come off. If I do paint something, it will be powder coated at a local factory and heated to 500 degrees. Same thing with wood. Most are simulated or veneers and if they have normal wear, I leave them alone.

Should I touch-up or refinish my older ski?

Maherajah's Frequently Asked Questions
We do not recommend refinishing an older ski. If the ski has been badly damaged or neglected we don't recommend using it. If you intend on using it, you can touch up the spots where bare wood is exposed by lightly sanding the spot and applying an exterior urethane based product, isolating the bad spots with masking tape. We have found that refinishing a ski makes it thinner, more flexible, and more likely to break. Old skis are already more brittle than their newer counterparts.

BoréalDesign -- F.A.Q.
