Color Change Vehicle Wrap Training

Two day class: $1,399

No Experience Required

The Color Change Vehicle Wrap Training is a two-day, hands-on car wrapping class focused on color change vinyl wrap. You'll build strong fundamentals, with an emphasis on advanced cutting, four proven corner techniques, and smart prep strategies that save up to 4 yards of material per vehicle. You'll also learn to wrap with hardware on the body to cut installation times without sacrificing quality, and use Zero Stretch and Wrap Matrix logic to make tricky areas like bumpers, mirrors, and door handles easier. By the end, you'll wrap an entire car from start to finish, including add-on customizations. Expert instructors guide you through every stage, and all tools and materials are provided. This industry-leading course has been proven to lower installation times by up to 50% and increase shop profitability.

This class also includes an introduction to PrismaPro™ dry-apply color PPF — the future of color change wrapping. You'll watch a live demonstration of the material in action, then get hands-on time to handle and explore it yourself so you can experience firsthand what makes it a game-changer for the industry.

Every participant leaves with more than just new skills. After training, you'll receive a free roll of Supreme Wrapping Film™ sent directly to you, a certificate of completion, a 30% discount to The Wrap Institute, and a starter tool set to hit the ground running — a total value of over $1,000.
