So i would really like to learn how to paint cars.

can anyone suggest a good place to learn?
a certain book or site?

i am most concerned about using the wrong primer and being able to prepare the car correctly.

PPG Paint class in Wixom if you live near Detroit. It's more hands on experiance then anything, Takes years to get good at it. Anybody can paint but not everybody can paint good. LEON.

A cheaper way still is to look into your local Vo-Tech community college.  :yesnod:

You can check out El Camino College in Gardena - I believe they have a auto paint/refinishing class

My bad, I assumed they taught the refinishing classes there and I know better than to assume.
