I would check at your local college and see if it has a body and fender class. That's the cheapest training I have found and you get to practice. Your not going to learn what you need to know from a DVD or watching it on you tube. Painting a car right requires skill and a painter that knows what he is doing. Keep in mind shooting the paint on the car is less than 25% of the job. All the real cost and expertise is in the prep work. Most body guys will tell you they are professional sanders not painters...
