    just ordered some opions bargee, with my indian takeaway…

    OK serious time, depending on your experience, one day may not really be adequate to cover the many aspects involved of vehicle wraps.

    The Roland or Grafityp courses are an alternative, but depends on your budget, and whether or not you consider the course a good investment to enhance your ability

    as for the course… 😉
    as peter says, one day may not be enough. certainly wont if your sharing with other folk.
    i guess it comes down to want you NEED from the course. if you are already good with vinyl and confident applying dry then one day may be enough.
    however, if you apply mostly wet, ide say parctice more on your own before making an investment on a wrap course. there is no point trying to learn to wrap when your time there will be learning to apply dry. doesnt make sense to me… and i dont mean that disrespectful.
    Roland academy i recon is a good bet. proper surroundings, mixed media options, well expereinced staff etc (and no i havent been on this course) but i know the tutor james deacon who was also the grafityp grafiwrap tutor and he is top notch at what he does, nice guy too…
    what "might" be an option for you is IF you have a live wrap job needing done. "i could be wrong so better check" but i think you can hire james to do the wrap work and you work along with him. i dont know his rates but regardless, you just pass the cost of his services to your customer and you gain his one one one experience!
    as i said, im not 100% sure on this but i think i am correct. hope so anyway… 😕 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
