Las Vegas, NV (November 19, 2025) - Coffee House Industries partnered with McLaren Racing and Allwyn to fabricate the world's first full-scale McLaren x Allwyn "Scratch Car" for its high-profile launch at the LINQ Promenade in Las Vegas. The activation transformed a full-size F1 show car into a fully interactive scratch-off installation featuring 970 custom panels, designed by artist and designer Florian Weber. This project became one of the most innovative experiential builds showcased during F1 festivities in Las Vegas.

From Concept to Completion

Coffee House Industries oversaw the entire fabrication process, producing a display-ready Scratch Car built for durability, precision, and visual impact. The project required large-format printing, precision cutting, detailed alignment, and long hours of assembly to ensure each scratch-off panel fit perfectly across the F1 body. Designer Florian Weber led the artistic construction while the fabrication team handled structure, engineering, and layout to bring the concept from design to a full-scale physical installation.

Engineering a Scratchable Surface

A major challenge of the McLaren x Allwyn Scratch Car was developing a scratchable coating system that preserved the integrity of the thin, paper-like material beneath the paint. Coffee House Industries engineered a custom finishing method through multiple rounds of testing, ensuring that every panel scratched cleanly while maintaining the car's shape and stability. This process was led by Abigail, one of Coffee House's project managers and artists, supported by our scenic and paint departments who masked, sprayed, and detailed each of the 970 squares with precision.

Las Vegas Reveal at the LINQ Promenade

The completed Scratch Car was transported to the LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip, where it became the centerpiece of the McLaren x Allwyn fan activation during F1 week. Surrounded by LED video walls and immersive lighting, the installation drew crowds and media attention throughout the event. F1 driver Oscar Piastri officially kicked off the experience by scratching the first panel in front of fans and press, unveiling the activation and marking the world's first interactive F1 Scratch Car reveal.

A High-Pressure Build With a Strong Finish

With a tight timeline and a completely unique concept, this activation showcased Coffee House Industries' ability to deliver high-complexity experiential builds on schedule. The Scratch Car demonstrates the company's strengths in custom fabrication, scenic finishing, interactive display engineering, and experiential design for large-scale brand activations. Bold concepts, fast turnarounds, and high-stakes environments are where Coffee House Industries excels - transforming challenging ideas into polished, real-world installations.

Productions move fast, and insurance often becomes an afterthought-until something goes wrong. These mistakes can lead to costly delays, damaged reputations, and unexpected expenses. Here's why they happen and how to avoid them.

Undervalued Equipment

Many production companies assume their gear is adequately insured under a basic policy. Cameras, lenses, lighting, & grip can easily total tens of thousands of dollars. An unexpected theft or accidental damage could lead to insufficient coverage and a costly out-of-pocket expense. Tip: Keep an updated inventory with accurate replacement values (including sales tax) and schedule periodic reviews with your insurance broker for continued accuracy. Verify if a co-insurance penalty exists and understand its impact in the event of a loss. Confirm the "valuation" that is attached to your property/inland marine policy, which is typically either "Replacement Value" or "Actual Cash Value." Replacement value preferred.

Skipping Liability Coverage

The motivation to secure General Liability is largely centered around compliance. Fulfilling insurance requirements with a rental house, studio, or client, is a function of your role as a creative, but the impact of costly litigation should also be considered as you explore various insurance solutions. Commercial General Liability insures against costly litigation resulting from 3rd party bodily injury and 3rd property damage. Without it, a single mishap-like a light stand falling over and damaging the floor and/or injuring talent-will often result in litigation and reputational harm. Tip: Secure Commercial General Liability and explore limit options of $1,000,000 occurrence and $2,000,000 occurrence. A Commercial Umbrella should also be considered. The price difference between an annual GL policy and a short-term General Liability is not as significant as one might think! Speak with an insurance specialist that knows your business and can provide you with a thorough walkthrough of your options.

Ignoring Certificates of Insurance (COIs)

While its common to issue "Additional Insured" certificates to your vendors, subcontractors, and certain crew members, you should be the one collecting them too. If you don't and something goes wrong, you could be held responsible for someone else's mishap. Tip: Speak with your insurance broker about the different ways you can mitigate the risk over the course of a production. While an additional insured/loss payee COI is a powerful method of risk mitigation, a production services agreement (MSA) with favorable language is equally as effective at keeping you out of the courtroom.

Overlooking Workers' Compensation

Crew injuries are just as common on small sets as they are on large scale productions. Without Workers' Comp, medical bills and legal claims fall on you. This applies to both W2 and freelance crew members. Tip: Verify your state's legal definition of an "employee" vs an "independent contractor." Example: California - https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_independentcontractor.htm .

Assuming Personal Policies Apply

Personal auto or homeowner policies rarely cover business activities. Using your own car for gear transport or storing equipment at home without proper coverage leaves you exposed. Tip: Confirm business-use endorsements or secure separate policies for production needs. Unless you're a hobbyist, it is strongly advised to purchase a Commercial Entertainment insurance policy. Productions thrive on creativity and efficiency, but overlooking insurance can turn a smooth shoot into a financial nightmare. Before your next project rolls, take the time to review your coverage with a knowledgeable broker. A few minutes now can save you thousands later.

For the past several months, we've been putting this Armored Truck , dubbed "Atlas", through its paces on a wild variety of productions. Restored in August; we gave the truck a much-needed major refresh, with extensive repairs of many major components, mechanical repairs & the restoration of factory functions before it was able to be road-worthy. The truck began its first production with a promotional campaign for the Amazon Prime movie "The Pickup", where we wrapped it in a one-off livery, customizing it from "head-to-tow", and brought it to every major event around California for nearly a month. After "The Pickup" project, Atlas was called upon again to promote the release of Nike's Kobe 8 Protro sneaker, on "Mamba Day", August 24th. As an organization with Southern California deep within its DNA, Malibu Autobahn was honored to honor the Lakers legend, wrapping the truck in a tasteful white & yellow livery with Kobe's logo emblazoned on the sides. In October, the armored truck was put through a long-range durability test, as we were tasked with driving the truck from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to use it as the centerpiece for the clothing brand Seventh Heaven's pop-up store at this year's ComplexCon. With the truck now in white and featuring Seventh Heaven's slime-green logos on the side, we took the truck through the Cajon Pass and the Mojave desert before we positioned the truck at their booth as the ultimate promotional tool. Ready to hit the road, this armored truck is ready for your next production, visit our armored truck page (link) to learn more.
