Matthew WolynskiOwnerMy name is Matthew Wolynski, widely recognized as “The Tallest Wrapper Alive.” My journey in the world of vinyl wrapping began in 2010, focusing on color change vinyl films. By 2013, I had the incredible opportunity to become a Hexis Platinum Trainer, traveling to France to learn advanced techniques and gain insights into their innovative films. This experience opened my mind to new possibilities and challenged me to tackle some of the most complex projects in the industry. One of my proudest moments was working on the first McLaren P1 to hit the United States, which graced the cover of Dupont Registry as the first wrapped car featured on the cover. This milestone was a testament to my dedication and skill in the craft. Over the years, I have collaborated with various companies, contributing to the development of training programs and film innovations. Notably, I worked with KPMF on their Metro Restyling line and played a key role in the development of 3M's new Premium Wrap Film. Additionally, I had the unique privilege of selecting colors for the Hexis Superchrome line and assisting in its product development. In 2017, I sold my first business, Phenomenal Vinyl, and launched a new brand, establishing a 3M training facility for Vehicle Color Change. This facility allowed me to create and implement comprehensive training regimens, empowering over 2,500 students to grow their own businesses and excel in the art of wrapping. Throughout my career, my passion for vinyl wrapping has driven me to explore new films and techniques, continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible in this dynamic industry. I am grateful for the journey so far and excited for what lies ahead.
