MARTINSR, you posted about auto paint schools on 9/12/00. I live in Oakland, and was wondering if you could recommend any of the nearby schools. If you don't want to post my e-mail is jorinb@yahoo.com. Thanks

I don't know of any schools first hand. I do know that the ROP program at Kennedy High School in Fremont has been around for years. PPG's school is in Vacaville and this is where I would start. Remember if you forget about the part numbers, paint is all very similar. At PPG's school you will learn about technology (I would think, like M-S school in Reno) along with some PPG only info. I-CAR would be another thought, check I-CAR at http://www.i-car.com/ and check the search for a clas near you. Wilmas body shop in Hayward holds classes, in fact I will be attending some there soon. Check with the paint stores and see where all the different schools are, it is well worth the trip and the time for these classes.
