    Hi All,

    I am new to the whole vehicle wrapping scene but have been asked a few times recently to wrap clients vehicles.

    Up until now we have outsourced but we’d like to be able to offer the service ourselves.

    Can anyone suggest a reputable training centre?

    Thanks

    Grafityp do a course, and are well spoken of. 4 of us from the boards are attending in a few weeks, if you hang on I’m sure a full report will follow…

    Peter, from memory that’s quite an expensive course? I’m sure it may be worth it of course…

    They train you with their own product, are you planning to use it yourself or just employ their techniques to your own choice of media?

    The reason I ask is that we’ve used a few wrap materials with varying results and are also on the lookout for a training course, so interested to see what you make of it.

    Paul, I dont think it is anymore expensive than others.
    they do 2 and 3 day courses at a fixed price, but its the same if one or four attend, so if four go I think it works out at good value.

    Whichever course you use, they will only use one product, but then the techniques are mainly universal.
    For what its worth, Grafityp also hold an exam at the end, if you pass, a certificate is issued and you become an accredited Grafityp fitter.

    Watch this space for more details.. Rob is attending, and I think he has a video in mind….
