I realize this question might be in the severe minority here on a replica prop forum! Most of us build and paint up props so they look nice on a wall or in a display case, they don't actually have to hold up. But I was thinking about trying to deco a saucer sled to look like Captain America's famous vibranium shield.
I was excited to see a lot of people have actually made steel saucer sleds into Cap's shield over the years. Less excited to find there's basically no such thing as a forum for...sledding or people customizing/rebuilding sleds (you've failed me, internet!)
My concern is whether or not there's a paint job (or top coat) that would actually be able to take the beating as it goes downhill. I'd hate to put in all that effort just for it wear off on the second trip down. And there's been no snow here yet, so it's not like I can do some quick tests to find out.
