There should also be a couple of things that I put in Foldershare, if you're in that

The company I use to work for had very thorough training manuals, but I have just checked the public website and cannot find them. They were most likely only available on the intranet.

There is a good section on paint defects though

Check your local college

 

They might do saturday morning paint courses. About 12 weeks for £50

 

Excellent way to learn

Yep, can't beat adult education. I did welding on evenings. A lot of gear, a lot of knowledge and all the free steel you could carry

It was at Dudley College, Mons Hill . I think it was about £26.50 a term. You learn gas, mig and Tig.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Was planning on doing a welding course later in the year so may do the bodywork course at the same time
