Jet Ski &
PWC Wraps
Full wraps, graphics kits and factory decal removal on personal watercraft — the fastest, cheapest marine job we do.
A PWC arrives on a trailer and fits inside the shop, so we control the environment completely. It is the best way to see our finish before committing a bigger boat.
Wrapping a Personal Watercraft
Small, curvy and contoured — the exact surfaces wrap installers are trained on.
It is also the only marine job that happens entirely inside our shop, which means the finish is as controlled as anything we do on a car.
Full wraps
The whole hull and deck in a new colour, finish or printed design.
What it covers+
PWC are small, heavily contoured and highly visible — exactly the surfaces wrap installers train on. A full wrap on a ski costs a fraction of any boat job and changes it completely.
Graphics kits
A designed set across the hood, side panels and rear, rather than full coverage.
What it covers+
Cheaper than a full wrap and often the better look on a ski that already has a colour you like.
Faded factory graphics
Most skis over a few seasons old are wearing cracked, chalked original decals.
What it covers+
Stripping them and either leaving the hull clean or applying fresh graphics is the single cheapest way to make an older ski look current.
Matching pairs & sets
Two or three skis in one coordinated design.
What it covers+
Families and rental operations usually want them to read as a set. Doing them together means one material batch and a genuine match.
Trailer to match
The ski trailer is flat, highway-visible and usually ignored.
What it covers+
Wrapping it alongside makes the whole rig look deliberate, and for a rental operation it is advertising on every tow.
Easiest marine job there is
A PWC arrives on a trailer, fits in the shop, and needs no slip visit.
What it covers+
That makes it the cheapest and fastest way to see the quality of our work before committing a bigger boat to it.
Where It Pays Off
Owners do it for looks. Rental operators do it for identity and resale.
Same job, different brief.
| Owner | Usual brief | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Private owners | Full wrap or graphics kit | Cheapest complete transformation in powersports |
| Matched pairs | Two or three in one design | They read as a set rather than three random skis |
| Rental operations | Livery plus numbering | Identity, and easy to spot on the water |
| Older skis | Strip faded factory decals | Often the whole problem — the hull underneath is fine |
| Resale prep | Fresh graphics before listing | Cracked factory decals are what buyers discount for |
Straight Talk
Three things we would rather say up front than after you have paid a deposit.
The first one is the most important thing on this page.
We are an automotive shop moving into marine
Say it plainly: we built our reputation on cars, not boats.
What to know+
The films, the tools and the install skill transfer directly — a compound curve is a compound curve. What we do not have is years of marine-specific history, and we will not pretend otherwise. If you want a shop with a decade of hulls behind it, that is fair. If you want a very good film shop applying the same standard to your boat, that is what this is.
Vinyl has a harder life on the water
Expect a shorter service life than the same film on a garaged car.
What to know+
Constant UV with no shade, plus salt, is the harshest thing you can do to vinyl. We spec cast films rated for it and give you a realistic expectation for how your boat is actually stored, rather than a brochure number.
Skis live hard
A PWC gets dragged onto trailers, bumped on docks and beached more than any boat.
What to know+
Film handles that well but it is not armour. Expect the high-contact zones — the rear step, the boarding side, the bow — to wear first, and plan on those being refreshed before the rest.
How It Runs
Nothing gets quoted off a photograph.
Condition and access vary enormously between boats, and both move the number.
Tell us the ski
Make, model, year, and whether the factory graphics are still on it.
Inspection
Usually quick. We check the hull condition and how badly the old decals are going to fight us.
Design & proof
Artwork laid out on the actual model's panel shapes, not a generic template.
Written quote
Per ski, with decal removal itemised separately. Sets are quoted together.
Install
In the EaDo shop, fully controlled. Bring it on the trailer.
Care sheet
Washing, storage and what to expect where the ski gets handled most.
We are in EaDo, about an hour from Kemah, Seabrook and Clear Lake and a straight run to Galveston. Tell us where the boat sits and we will say honestly whether a slip visit makes sense or whether trailering it in gives a better result.
Jet Ski and Personal Watercraft Wraps FAQ
How much does a jet ski wrap cost?+
Quoted per ski after we see it. Condition, whether old graphics need stripping, and whether you want a full wrap or a graphics kit all move it.
It is the least expensive job on this whole site, which is why a lot of owners use it to try us out before committing a boat.
Can you match two or three skis?+
Yes, and do them together if you can. One design, one material batch and one install session is how you get a genuine match rather than three near-misses.
Do the old factory graphics have to come off?+
Yes. They telegraph through new film and stop it bonding.
On a lot of older skis the removal is most of the improvement — the hull underneath is usually fine.
How long does it last?+
Shorter than on a car, and shorter than on a boat that sits in a covered slip, because a ski gets handled, beached and trailered constantly.
The high-contact zones go first. Those can be refreshed on their own without redoing the whole ski.
Do I need to bring it to you?+
Yes, and that is the advantage. A PWC comes in on its trailer and gets wrapped indoors in a controlled environment, which produces a better finish than any dockside job.
Tell Us About the Boat
Make, length, where it sits and what you are after. Send a few photos and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth us coming to look.
