What is a better idea is to pick up some 3M 1080 adhesive vinyl and stick that on. I used that on my APX skates. It's water resistant and tough as hell.

do you have any pics?

I don't have pics, unfortunately. PM me for some scrap material though. 10 minutes and an exacto knife will yield good results.

Looks way cleaner. The 1080 is available on eBay for cheap
