Vinyl TRAINING

The LAB Academy is excited to announce that we are now offering our Vinyl Training Program, open to both beginner and intermediate wrap artists. The vinyl industry is one of the fastest growing industries and demand for licensed and competent wrap artists is at an all time high. This program will teach students how to successfully wrap an entire vehicle front to back as well as shed insight into the wrap industry for those students looking to start their own wrap shop. The program is offered in 2 levels to ensure that students who complete both have enough hands-on experience to be able to enter the industry immediately.

  • VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES

  • Level 1 Training

    The Level 1 Training is for students that do not have any vinyl experience. We will take a slower and more basic approach to ensure that every student understands the basics of vinyl application and stretching theory. This course will cover topics so that students can start offering basic vinyl services such as: chrome deletes, headlight/tail light tinting, hood wraps and roof wraps immediately. More advanced panels and techniques are covered in the Level 2 Training

  • Level 2 training

     The two day Level 2 Training course is for students who have successfully completed Level 1 and now want to take their skills to the next level. This course takes many of the techniques taught during the first course but applies them to larger and more difficult panels such as bumpers and quarter panels. The goal of this course is for our students to be able to wrap a complete car. We will also be covering disassembly, advanced laying techniques, knifeless tape as well as inlays/overlays.
