In today’s fast-growing customization market, one skill is standing out as a high-demand career path: vinyl wrapping and protective film installation. From automotive color changes and paint protection film (PPF) to architectural wraps, window graphics, and commercial branding, skilled installers are shaping the look of vehicles, buildings, and businesses everywhere. Yet for beginners eager to break into the industry, finding credible, hands-on wrap training remains a challenge. That’s where Houdini Wraps Academy in Las Vegas is setting a new standard.
Founded by Gary Gutierrez, a veteran with more than 11 years in the wrap industry, the Academy was built to transform how professionals are trained. Houdini’s experience ranges from personal projects and corporate fleet branding to architectural film applications, giving him a wide perspective on both the technical skills and business knowledge required for long-term success.
“I know how hard it can be starting out without the right guidance,” Gary says. “This Academy ensures students not only learn the art of vinyl wrapping, but also how to build a thriving business around it.”
The Houdini Wraps Academy curriculum focuses on two core areas: color change vinyl wrap training and paint protection film application. Students also receive instruction in business essentials such as client management, pricing strategies, and long-term customer retention. By combining technical mastery with business development, the Academy prepares students to succeed in a highly competitive industry.
What makes the program unique is its hands-on training environment. All instruction takes place inside a fully operational Las Vegas wrap shop, giving students real-world experience on live projects. Class sizes are kept intentionally small, ensuring one-on-one mentorship directly from Houdini. Upon completion, graduates earn a certification that validates both their craftsmanship and their readiness to enter the marketplace.
Graduates have gone on to secure paying clients, improve their technical skills, and even launch their own wrap businesses. These stories highlight the Academy’s mission to raise industry standards while creating opportunities for newcomers.
“The best part for me is seeing a student land their first job after training here,” Houdini adds. “It shows them that with the right skills and mindset, this career can truly change their life.”
For those ready to build a career in customization—whether automotive, architectural, or commercial branding—Houdini Wraps Academy in Las Vegas offers a one-of-a-kind training experience that blends technical skill and business mentorship.
