My 14-year old DS has found a pair of used ski boots that fit him nicely.
But they are purple and green and he is not too keen on buying them.
Since
he's likely to need a larger size next year, maybe we could paint them an
more acceptable colour.

Has anyone attempted this? What did you do, and how did it go?

Thanks,
J


Since the exterior of ski boots are plastic (polyurethane used to be the
most commonly used) if you want to paint them, use a paint that is sold for
plastics. Krylon is one of the brands; see

Make sure that you allow several days for the paint to dry and for the
solvents to evaporate before using the boots.
