just try to learn from experience.. i am only 16, but i have done some major bodywork before and i have lots of experience in both body work and motor work.

 

it all depends on what kind of work do you do.... painting is recommend if you admire the work you doing, escpecially 2000- 5000 paint jobs.... craftmanship. and as for mechanic.... if you like getting down dirty and fixing cars then pursue that way... and maye after that you can have your own performance shops fixing AIRPLANE CARS....hahahah just playing.... but really a little of both will be worthwhile.....

 

yea.... its all in what you like to do.... personily i dont like to spend 5k+ for a nice paint job or some body work, or my interior... so i learn how to do it and try it, now i have a pretty tight car and i have done it all myself
it makes it so much better for me to know that even though there are tigher cars out there, most of those people paid a lot more money to have someone else do all the work
