  • Wrapping course in Ireland?

    Posted by Matthew on September 8, 2008 at 11:28 am

    I know the courses have been discussed many times, but does anyone know if there are any wrapping courses in Ireland?

    I’m guessing it’s a trip to the UK

    Thanks in advance

    Just back home tonight after doing the Wrapping course. Very beneficial course to do even if you’ve been fitting vinyl for years . Its great to learn how to properly use a squeegee. We learned alot from James and I look forward to putting it into practice , considering at one stage i thought it was not for me as it seemed impossible LOL. but with alot of practice 😉 I might just get the hang of it . First thing i need is to get a paint disclaimer as during the course we stripped paint and lacquer off parts of 3 cars 😮 . Its all good though. Met some fantastic guys there also , keep in touch lads .

    yeah i second what Neil said there, i was down in the south of ireland with him, and i would like to say a big thinks to to James, he works with you at a level where you dont feel as it is a teacher and pupil thing which is a big help and helps you relax into your learning.

    Also a big thanks to Kev & Finto at Revolution graphics in Mullingar, they were very welcoming and also helped out were they could

    Loved the course myself, really big learning curve in front of me as its far from easy but James and the guys were great and James really knows his stuff and well impressed with his portfolio – Excellent Designer and fitter- Highly recommended

    Course was great, and good to meet some people in the same business.
    Thanks to Rob for sorting this out. I would highly recommend learning from a professional like James.

    A big thanks to all the guys on the course for your comments. I enjoyed the course as well, your humor was as appreciated as your hard work. Glad you all learnt a lot and it hope it will give you confidence to learn and turn out great work all over Ireland. I know lacquer coming off cars was unfortunate but part of any vinyl application. Better to happen on a course and not on customers work. I look forward to seeing all your work in the portfolio section and please all keep in touch.
    Thanks Matthew for making the first post and look forward to maybe coming to Ireland again and cheers Kevin Ryan for unit etc without sounding to much like the Oscars thanks to Rob Lambie for making it all possible!
