Learning to paint....

If you want a good start and are in Houston, San Jacinto Jr College has all the classes and equipment. I started there in 1984 because you get to work on your project and store it with professional teachers from the industry. At the same time you earn credits if thats your thing. I went to learn and to have a shop with all the equipment. They have the latest frame machines, paint booths and tools including paint guns. They had Sat classes that lasted all day. I took those for years. If you dont know how to do it the teacher does and they will help you. Made a lot of friends during those days some of whom now have their own shops.

Unfortunately I'm further south, just outside of San Antonio. I've been trying to find something local but I think in end it's just going to be me breaking things and fixing them. Typically how I learn :)
