Super Jet Superjet graphic wraps

[lostcreek21]

I'm building an RN and I'm thinking about putting a graphic wrap on it. Just wanted to know who's running one and how they like them? Are they pretty durable?

Here is a pic of my sn i was runnin it held up really well.

I really like this idea too..
I'm contemplating a paint scenario for my RN this winter, and considering
Time/materials of automotive paint vs gelcoat. DIY paint vs body shop. Etc.
I also think a wrap could be killer mostly due to minimal labor/prep on my end as well as duplicating
graphics that are possible with a wrap with paint would be far more $/time consuming..
However there is a company down the street from me that specializes in wraps.
They do entire cars that look like 5-10k paint jobs.
When asked about doing a ski they said "too small, pita, we won't make enuf $, don't bring me your ski to wrap"

It's hard for me to find one I like. Anyone have any suggestions on where to pick one up? I've seen the AMR and the other wrap on ebay that's comparable in price to the AMR but that's about it

Im not good with paint, so Im looking a graphics package for an SN. Really with I could find a 50th anniversary Yamaha package. I like that look.
Im not a fan of overly done graphics with skulls and grim reapers, Something simple is nice, not much available though.

My friend Pat Klem from MotoOption does custom wraps he is the one who wrapped mine in the pic above in post 2. He will design anything you like from overly done graphics to plain and simple. You can email him at pklem@motooption.com for more information.

I used AMR I really like the quality of the kit it's very thick and durable and AMR has a 5 year warranty on fading

I've never had a wrap but I can tell you I will never paint another ski. The paint chips and gets scratched very easily, plus you just get nikel and dimed to death with tape, paper, activators, reducers, on and on and on. Plus the prep work is the worst part of it IMO. The wrap also hides previous repairs and cracks. The next ski I build will get a wrap before paint.

Worst part about me wrapping my ski I still had to paint it.

I like your ski dirtydirtson. So are you guys painting a base coat of one color before putting on the wrap?

X2 Hit up Pat at motooption, he is currently wrapping one of my skis, and you guys will go nuts when you see it!

I am concerned about this very same thing. My hood has significant paint loss, and I'm pretty sure the vinyl won't stick directly to the fiberglass. :frown:

I only painted my ski because the graphic kit would have shown seams and the seams were white. The vinyl is actually really sticky.

Was the graphic wrap easy to install?

I am thinking about wrapping my ski as well.

What's the cost for something like this?

 

[JT_Freeride]

The graphic wrap was actually really easy to install. If you just read the directions it's very forgiving to work with. The full decal kit cost me $400

 

[knelson288]

Wraps from Pat at MotoOption cost roughly $11 to $12 a sqft and that is with him installing the wrap.

Does AMR do custom print kits? I am not very fond of the Mountain Dew, Extreme, Dirt-bike, etc following graphics they have.

 

[JT_Freeride]

They will do almost anything you can think of. Any design you see on there website you can have made for your ski.

its all off now, because i got a lowered hood and a/m pole, but some guy went in with some comic book and sat down with the guy and had all this drawn up and placed out. if you waled around the ski you could read the "comic book" in order.
