Bought some of the fluorescent tape from here http://www.gaffertape.com/product-7159.wtl (http://www.gaffertape.com/product-7159.wtl)
An ultra high visibility and durable cloth tape. Our 'American Grade' fluorescent cloth tape is one of the brightest and most attention-catching tape available. Designed for temporary marking of hazardous or designated areas. Still being visible even in low light situations and glowing under UV/Black Light makes this product ideal for marking stage areas, store isles, sports hall lanes and for use in TV & Film set construction and decoration.
Mine are the orange ones and the pink ones are my GF's new Pro-Jump+ can't belive she has better bindigns than me :Ccry: had to get her those to fit her tiny feet lol

The bindings are really nice but you have MK3 hoofies! :Cbiggrin: The tape looks really good. And the PJ+ looks really nice too. Not having that orange there makes a big difference.
:spudT:
-

Yea they do look nice all black, but I got the orange to go with mine :Ctongue:
-

Hi everyone not sure anyone else has tried this yet but my dad ordered 50.8mm heatshrink off ebay (£9 for 3 metres including delivery) then he took off top of spring slid it on and used his heat gun to shrink it in place this is the result in pic. :Cbiggrin:
-
That looks cool, it will be easyier to put diff colours on like that
-
Most colours can be gotten online he says took about 20 mins to fit each side
-
kwl, you putting any more colours on it?
-
un is he gonna fit us all?
erm small point, but do u have anything to wear that matches....and if so 4 gawd sake why??? burn it at once!!
-
gonna borrow james t-shirt :Cbiggrin: lololol and whats wrong with the colour i chose it lol
-
well ive just looked on youtube 4 that answer and it aint there. So i may have to hack into a dvd to get 'uncle monty;s' views on mauve
peeps wot have seen 'withnail and I' may know the answer
-
First of all that looks amazing!
I do however have a question. I'm fairly new to all this and as it turns out I have the same orange powerizers. I never really looked into modding etc when I first bought mine and now after seeing this I'm thinking I'd really like to do the same (maybe a different colour to purposely clash with the orange) but I am worried about how this will effect jumping. My spring covers (the slim plastic that came with them) has taken a bit of a beating. Did you gaffertape over the covers or directly onto the spring and have you noticed any change in the performance?
Also if I were to go about doing this is it as simple as just giving the spring covers a wrap or two of gaffertape?
-
yes mate its as simple as that, i dont know anyone who has hindered their springs with tape.
well i gotta say that the projump box looks fab!!! ive got 3 other makes of box that 1 tops um :Csmile:
thats because it stars Becky and I on it Q, and we rock :P
-
Awesome. Cheers, now I just have to find a place in Cardiff that does brightly coloured gaffertape lol
I'm moving in a few days so I can't order offline >.<
