DIY its not too difficult, i dont know if wrapping something like that would be worth the 150 dollars you would spend doing it right lol, but anyways all materials can be purchased at composites canada - look them up on google, instructions and before and after can be found there -

for a joystick it wont cost anymore than 90+ dollars. basically around 50+ for the resin, and 46 for 1 sq yard of cf. the cf you’ll have so much spare left to do what ever you want. the resin will probably have about 2/3 - 1/2 left.
