I imagine some sort of Art and Design course? I doubt there are any courses just about customizing cars.

I found a simmilar thread on another forum and thought this response applies to you.

"Well, Obviously, you will get no where without the BTEC in Bonnets, lights, ignition, and nose grilles (BLING). Which you will proably find on offer from Westside College. Luckily for you, there is no standard entry requirement for English.You may also find a degree in Advanced Rapper Service Electronics to be of substantial help in your future career, but to get into this course you will of course first need to be certified as a British Language Advanced Car Kare professional.Good luck,

BRRAP!

Take a course in doing things for yourself instead.

well i've worked at a Car Bodyshop/repair/spray place before

there actually are courses for the spraying bit of it, mechanics and stuff along the automobile range....
to open a place like that you're going to need a fair bit of money tbh.

does this tie in with these threads where you wanted a ICT job..

ALSO if you have a local bodyshop they will definately have a spray booth (well they should) enquire about apprenticeships then they will let you work there, and go into college and learn the courses that way..
but your better doing things YOUR way, you can't be told what to do the whole of your life.

Im not being funny but how the well do we know if you are going to suceed or not? If you apply yourself you can do antyhing you want.

Saying that, going on the impression you give me on this forum, i would be suprised if you can dress yourself.

yes i am very organized actually :)
then seriously why do you need us guys to tell you if you're going to succeed or not!?!?

in all honesty, i doubt you will raise enough money just to cover the cost of paints, yet alone buy a piece of land for your workshop, BUILD the workshop, buy a spray booth (the newest ones can be VERY expensive) employ staff, train the staff, have general knowledge of managing a business, understanding banking and finances or hire someone to do all the administration work..that is just some of the costs and problems you would encounter if you were to start a business..

so talking to a what 16/17 year old boy ye?
i think no you won't succeed, move onto something a bit more realistic for your age, sure enough train to get some of the way there, but your looknig unrealistic goals for your age.
