Chris Obney

Training manager

First started working with window film in 2001. At the time, he and his business partner started tinting cars as a side business. It quickly expanded into a full-time operation that included car detailing and the installation of window film and paint protection film. Chris became the sole owner and, for 13 years, he installed window films for automotive, residential and commercial customers in Southwest Florida.

Chris offers installers a hands-on, interactive “how to” experience in his class. But his classroom also gives attendees the opportunity to network with other business owners and installers in the same field.

Peter Mahabir

trainer | Houston, TX

Peter’s journey in the automotive industry began as a teenager when he first started tinting windows. While attending technical college in the mechanical field, he developed a deep passion for hands-on work, which has shaped his career for over 20 years.

His expertise goes beyond window tinting—he has worked across the automotive industry, helping independent auto shops, dealerships, and nationwide franchises develop and implement successful training programs.

Peter thrives in the shop, working alongside business owners and their teams to ensure they have the skills and knowledge needed for success. He believes that hands-on learning is the key to mastering the trade, and he’s always eager to roll up his sleeves
and get to work.
