That might be a wrap

[Koz]

I've never like the color of my Autopilot 120. It's the Photic Camo color, and the only reason I have this color is that when I bought it, it was on sale for $500 off. So now I'm thinking of wrapping my kayak with a carbon fiber look.

 

I've seen videos of other people doing it, and I'm betting it's a bit harder then it looks. So I may price having it done professionally from an auto shop that specializes in wraps. From the videos I have seen, anglers are just wrapping the sides and not the stern, cockpit, or tank well. I wonder how hard it would be to do all of it?

 

Anyway, has anyone else wrapped their kayak or looked into it?

When I race motocross I’d install new graphics and numbers every year or twice a year. Eventually you get good at it. At first it’s a lot of cussing, heat and windex to get it right. This was on a much smaller scale than a yak would be. It was also lots of bends, rolls and bolt holes to line up. For a whole kit it was $250-300 semi custom. 
 

The one thing only you can answer is this really worth it? Remember every time you bump, scrap, slide you can ruin it then. You’ll probably end up wanting to do it every year or every other year to keep it looking good.

I have not wrapped anything. I actually have nothing good to add unfortunately. 

 

But I absolutely hate the old town colors. That orange and the blue you see everywhere. I have a forest green or somthing like that. Never seen another old town in the same color as mine. Even when I did research on what yak i wanted, watching YouTube videos. Only saw the blue and orange. I absolutely refused to get the blue or orange. I'm honestly surprised the green isn't more popular. 

 

So I guess all I have to add is a nod of approval. Wrap that thing.

I have a friend in Gainesville that does that.  If you want his number give me a PM.
