We don't just teach you how to apply vinyl; we teach you the standards used for $100k+ luxury cars and the "Beast" Tesla Cybertruck.

  • 90% Hands-On, Zero Fluff: This is a working shop environment. You spend nearly the entire week with a squeegee in your hand, not in a classroom.

  • Precision Prep & Disassembly: Learn to safely remove door handles, mirrors, and emblems—the secret to a wrap that looks like a factory paint job.

  • Advanced Tension Mastery: Master "Cold Stretching" and "Glassing" techniques to prevent lifting and ensure a flawless finish on deep recesses.

  • PPF & Color Change Focus: Gain core competency in both aesthetic color changes and high-end Paint Protection Film (PPF).
