2001 burton custom graphics peeling

hi all,

i have a 2001 burton custom 160. took it to the shop to tune recently, and
the guy said that my board, like the other '01 customs he's seen, has the
topsheet graphics peeling. apparently they tried to do something crazy with
the metically graphics that year and it didn't work out, so it peels and
chips starting around the edges. anyway, he didn't go into details, but he
said i should see if my warranty is still valid.. but of course, the 1 year
expired.

just wondering if anyone has had this problem with the custom (or other
burton boards)... and if it eventually leads to delamination or anything
serios. what can be done to treat/stop/fix it? if it's only cosmetic, i
can deal with that... thanks.

Is that the year they had those "matte" topsheets (slightly rough
texture). I remember the Burton shop rep at Government Camp (Mt.Hood)
talk about how "cool" they were. They were doing free tuning clinics
and I got my board waxed and tuned for free since it was in the worst
condition - heh.

no, actually it wasn't matte. there's nothing special about the topsheet,
except that there's some metallic reflective parts in the graphics... i
guess they chose a new process to layer the topsheet or something? anyways,
it's falling apart (without any abuse), i just want to know how bad it'll
get.

Top sheet is no worry. Purely cosmetic.
