    Colour change opinion on Sea Doo

    Just bought a Seadoo RXPX, picking it up on Saturday. I'm not a fan of the bright yellow trim. I'd like whatever I do to be reversible, so vinyl or plasti dip are my options. I'd just be wrapping the front transparent screen, and the 4 yellow trim pieces. Opinions on 3M 1080 Carbon...
