Paint Protection Film Training in City of Industry, CA

Learning paint protection film installation the right way takes more than watching a few videos and hoping the technique translates to a real panel. At AeroWerkz in City of Industry, CA, our 3 day hands-on PPF training is taught by STEK Black Label certified installers, giving students direct access to techniques that usually take years to pick up on the job. Hands-on instruction takes place at our private Chino training location, and the course also includes time at our working City of Industry facility, where students see firsthand how a professional shop handles luxury and exotic vehicles every day.

IS THIS COURSE RIGHT FOR YOU

Built For Every Skill Level

Whether you've never touched a roll of film or you've been installing for years, the course is designed to meet you at your current skill level. First-time students can build a strong foundation, while experienced installers have the opportunity to focus on techniques or problem areas that may be slowing down their work.

  • What You'll Build Over Three Days

    The course progresses from foundational skills into more advanced installation techniques, giving you the opportunity to develop your abilities throughout all three days. Training includes:


    • Tools and Preparation: Build good habits around the tools, setup, and preparation that contribute to a successful installation.
    • Installation Fundamentals: Develop the core techniques needed to approach film installation with greater confidence and consistency.
    • Curves and Difficult Areas: Practice working through more challenging shapes and surfaces that require additional control.
    • Trimming and Finishing: Refine the details that can make the difference between an average installation and a professional finished result.
    • Bulk Installation: Gain hands-on experience working with larger sections of film and techniques used on real-world jobs.

  • Real Film. Real Panels. Direct Feedback.

    Every student works with real film on real vehicle panels rather than relying solely on practice boards. Class sizes are kept small so you can receive direct feedback from a STEK Black Label certified instructor throughout the course, ask questions as you work, and correct techniques in real time.

  • Skills You Can Take Back to the Shop

    Whether your goal is to start a career in film installation, improve your existing technique, or train members of your shop to a higher standard, the course focuses on skills you can carry into real customer work. The goal isn't simply to complete three days of training. It's to leave with better habits, greater confidence, and techniques you can continue developing long after the course ends.

Take the Next Step in Your Training

A matte or satin finish lives or dies on the small stuff. Panel gaps, mirror caps, and trim pieces all need to be wrapped with the same attention as the hood or fenders, or the finish ends up looking inconsistent from one angle to the next. It's also a look a lot of our clients associate with performance and exotic builds rather than a daily driver, so we treat every conversion with that same level of intention, down to how the edges are tucked and finished. The goal isn't just a matte car. It's a matte car that looks like it was designed that way from the start.

WHAT THE COURSE COVERS

What To Expect Over 3 Days

  • Surface Prep and Fundamentals

    Day 1 starts with tools and surface prep, since a poorly prepped panel undermines even a well executed film application. Students build a foundation here before moving into full installation technique. We cover which tools matter most, how to properly clean and decontaminate a panel before any film goes on, and the small habits that separate a rushed prep job from one that sets up a clean install from the start.

  • Installation and Problem Solving

    Day 2 moves into installation technique and the common problem areas that tend to separate a confident installer from someone still building experience, along with proper trimming. Students spend the bulk of the day applying film to real panels, working through curves, door handles, mirrors, and other spots where a rushed install tends to show, with direct feedback from instructors as each student works.

  • Bulk Work and Running A Film Business

    Day 3 covers bulk installation techniques and film maintenance, along with the business side of the trade, including how to approach quoting and pricing PPF jobs for your own clients. Students also get time to ask questions specific to their own shop or career goals, whether that means refining technique on faster, larger jobs or figuring out how to structure pricing for different coverage levels.
