I actually started painting in High School. We had a auto collision class in there where you can get certified for many things. I took that class for 2 years jun. and senior year, then worked in a body shop for about 2 or so years. Now until i hopefully can open my own custom shop up, I just do it on the side... Being that im only 21 I have a little time to get things going hopefully... I know what i want it just takes a lot of $$$ to get there...
