Custom Colors
Tailor Your Ski Lift to Your Vision
At Ski Lift Designs, we understand that every space is unique. That's why we offer a range of color customization options to ensure your ski lift chair perfectly complements your environment.
Personalized Color Matching
Looking for custom colors outside of our staple palette? We're happy to accommodate custom color requests. Here is how to get started finding the perfect custom color to match your desired chairlift aesthetic:
-
Browse a plethora of options with either of our powder-coating color suppliers: Prismatic Powders or Cardinal Paint.
-
Find your color. Custom colors are included free of charge UNLESS the desired color requires 2 coats (+$300). Although uncommon, both vendors will make it clear when a specific color requires 2 coats in the product description.
-
Decide on a finish style. Matte offers a subtle, non-reflective look while gloss provides a bold, reflective shine. Both finishes are available through our powder coating partners at no additional cost.
-
Still worried about the final color output? Both color suppliers offer free color samples upon request to ensure the perfect match for your project.
-
Contact us with the specific name, RAL, or Pantone color code.

Why Powder Coating?
The reality of vintage decommissioned ski lifts is decades of paint coat accumulation and wear, resulting in uneven surfaces, chips, and lead-based layers. Powder coating offers a way for you to celebrate your piece of ski heritage with a final product that is smooth, tough, and built to last for both indoor and outdoor use. Ultimately, powder coating is only one step of the Ski Lift Designs process; every project gets our full ski lift refurbishment process.

Seat Styles
All wood is hand selected for its superior cut and unique grain/texture by Ski Lift Designs craftsman. We then go through a process of milling, sanding, and finishing each seat with 3x coats of all purpose marine varnish to ensure durability that'll stand the test of time.

White Oak Wood Straight-grained with a classic coarse texture that is popular with consumers. White Oak’s color ranges from light brown to a rich blond. Selected for its superior performance in outdoor environments, White Oak will stand up to the harshest sun or winter storm. |
 |
Brazilian Ipe Wood From rich red to reddish brown, Brazilian Ipe's unique color is a great compliment to any ski lift. Uniform grain produces a smooth satin finish which is complimented by growth knots and natural dark pitch specks. Brazilian Ipe is a high density hardwood supplying superior outdoor rot resistance with the highest range of durability. |
|
Walnut Wood Walnut ranges from a lighter pale brown to a dark chocolate brown with darker brown streaks. Color can sometimes have grey, purple, or reddish highlights adding unmatched character. Fine grain results in a smooth finish and natural luster. Walnut is a medium-high density hardwood with a tight grain structure. Less impact resistant than White Oak, but more resistant that Cherry. |
