Getting ready for SEMA and the Sign Warehouse workshop


I'm getting everything ready for my next trip to the States.  From Nov.3-6 I will be doing demos for Mutoh at the SEMA show, the world's largest car show.  In the booth I will be wrapping either a race car or a Ford Mustang with Oracal film.  Joining me for a few days in the booth will be Niels Langedijk, co-owner of Squeezy, the premiere installation company in the Netherlands.  Sandra Schreuder, Niels' girlfriend, will also be helping out.  She's one of the best installers I know so having both of them there will be super cool.  They will have lots of tricks to show.  After Vegas I will fly to Texas for the workshop at Sign Warehouse from Nov. 9-11.  Todd LaBrie, owner of Carwraps, will teach design for the first day and I will teach installation for the remaining 2 days.  The class sold out very quickly which is a great way to end the last workshop of the year.  Mutoh is finalizing the schedule for next year so I'll post it as soon as it comes out.

Workshop for 3M Belgium

3M Brussels Workshop - September 4, 2009I did a workshop for 3M Belgium on September 4 in Brussels at their headquarters.  The focus of the workshop was to teach the 20 partipants how to apply 3M's 85 series paint replacement film and IJ380.  The morning session focused on tools, cleaning, hardware removals and installation techniques and the afternoon session was hands-on. 

Everyone was eager to learn and the facility and support from 3M Belgium was great so it turned out to be a very successful workshop.  A meeting is planned with Kris Nuyts from 3M Belgium and Niels Langedijk from Squeezy to plan more workshops.
