At a school of your choosing or getting a job at a body shop, I would say is the best way to learn. I feel like you can learn what a real shop is like by working at one. In the schools, they don't really teach you what the real world is like.
Any wich way, a school can teach you how to do the job but a body shop and experiance will teach you how to do it much faster and save you thousands.

Why not work at shop? Sorta like entry level. Body shop school are not cheap. I broke on school. =/ You can learn by yourself too just need to do alots of research, take notes, ask specific questions, and practice paintings. The only problem is that the tools will be expensive if you wanna do the work properly and neat. I actually like auto body shop paints as a hobbies.
