TOPIC: Restoring vintage skis?

I would like to restore some kids skis. The current new pair is delaminating rapidly. Is there any collector value before I destroy it? What should they be sealed with?
Should the binding be centered, or set back like the old ones?
I am likely to use the new bindings and fins. I am going to attempt the graphics as well. What type of paint should I use?

As for the graphics, find a local sign shop. They'll be able to make new "decals" for the skis probably for similar cost as what it will be for you to do it yourself. Then all you'll have to focus on is the new white shiny paint and sealing the skis properly.
