No we ended up going to Nuneaton mate. It was either there or leicester due to being adult learners.

Just wana get a job in a bodyshop now but asked the local places and they aren't taking on atm. Even asked about just working for free in the evenings/weekends just for the hands on experience.

Just for some practice, it's harder to get as smooth a finish over a filled repair

Just something i've wanted to do for a long time.
As said both myself and my fiancee went to college this past year and studied level 2 paint refinishing.

I know some people say that taking the step of a hobby/interest into a career can ruin it but i'm willing to take my chances.

Just need to get myself a job in the industry now as we don't have much space in the garage for stuff only get a bumper/bonnet in and space to spray.

Yeah same to be honest Andy. Just can't get motivated to do my own car. I think the up n down weather has a large part to play at the mo though!
Are you planning on taking it on as a full time career Paul? Or just to learn?

I'll still take the risk i think, i'd like to do it as a full time career with the hope of both of us opening our own bodyshop covering all sorts of things from paint&body to air/juice etc etc...

edit: Gotta aim high....ish
