From June 11–13, 2025, industry veteran Randy Humphries led a class of five students through an intensive, hands-on PPF crash course at Tint Works in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. After the course, Chris Collier, Focused Industry Training (FIT) Program’s Director of Communications, caught up with the trainers / trainees.

“The PPF training course with the iconic Randy Humphries was nothing short of amazing for me and my team member, Dominic Laqua. The whole experience — from getting a starter set of tools and written materials for reference during/after the class to jumping in headfirst. I came in with little knowledge of PPF and left with a thorough understanding of the PPF process that included great insight on how to manipulate patterns using a cutting program and how to handle the film once it’s plotted. I went from never having done a full panel of PPF, to completing a full mirror, a full front bumper, a full door, and a full fender without assistance other than moving the film from the peel board to the car. The class was intense, thorough, and tough. Randy held us accountable, and was stern, but I felt it was properly paced for growth within three days. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait for the next one.”
Letha Miller Lasiter, Owner of The Tint Diva in Gadsden, Alabama, and Installer at 12 Volt Techs in Hazel Green, Alabama
“I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Between Randy Humphries and Autobahn, I expected to learn a great deal. Randy showed us why we should do certain things and the right way to install PPF. I loved that we learned how to wrap edges. By day three, I had improved on the areas that Humphries pointed out and started getting the hang of it all. I highly recommend his class.”
Jeremy Davis, Owner of Pro Tint LLC in Bunnell, Florida
“Randy is a friend of mine, and I signed up because I know the level of quality he delivers and what he expects. I took this class as a refresher to make sure my skills were up to par. It was a great training class. I saw what was expected by a top-tier PPF installer, and it built my confidence to come back and start installing more.”
Cavan Curry, Installer at Knox Auto Armor in Knoxville, Tennessee
“The training went awesome. I feel confident and ready to install just about any piece of PPF. I had zero experience laying down PPF before this class. I highly recommend Randy’s training, no matter your experience level. We problem-solved a lot of different scenarios. 10/10 class.”
Randy Humphries, Owner of Tint Works in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (Trainer for Class)
“Everyone did a great job. It’s pretty cool knowing that people actually want me to train them. I feel I’m just a normal guy that loves this industry. I’m passionate about making a difference. It’s very humbling and an honor to be able to help the next wave of installers.”
George ‘El Chingon’ Nevarez, Training Coordinator at Autobahn, Hüper Optik, and Edge
“Randy is top-notch. He does not rush you and wants to make sure you understand what you are doing. Stay tuned for future dates.”
