This discounted course is for the course starting on 1st December. Any other dates are charged at the normal price of £1390. 

In this skilled motorcycle and car refinishing and custom paint industry, we have developed a unique course covering the full range of skills and services.

This course aims to give the student the opportunity to learn and develop the skills and techniques necessary to be self reliant and achieve the highest standards. This 11 day intensive package provides a full hands on practical opportunity to practice your skills and techniques within a purpose built area and operational body shop alongside qualified instructors.

UNLIKE OTHERS THAT ONLY TEACH THE CUSTOM PAINTING AND TALK YOU THROUGH THE REST WE WILL TEACH YOU IT ALL.
There is no point being great at airbrushing if you need to rely on others to do your preparation and repairs or to finish off your work. We don’t just teach you how to become good with an airbrush, we teach you how to become painters as well, by giving you extensive spray booth time and showing you how to paint actual bodywork, bikes or cars and help overcome common problems.

PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE US WITH OTHERS, OUR COURSE IS THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND.

 

FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW

·         There are many Airbrush courses in the country claiming you can paint a bike or car with an airbrush. Some even state on your kitchen table! YOU CAN'T! Airbrushing is not enough. However, we WILL teach you what others don't.

·         Be wary of training providers who try to sell only their products. We could easily sell to you ourselves but chose not to. Your training is our priority, not selling you gear and products you will never need. Instead we provide you with a list of our suppliers and get you discount on all products purchased.

·         Now - Our student's work is proudly displayed in our student gallery - an indication of what you can achieve. All work on view in the gallery has been repaired, fully painted and polished by the student. At least ten coats of lacquer has been applied during this process. Trust us, a typical Airbrush course is in no way enough. You wouldn’t know where to start.

·         We don't use "practice" tanks, helmets, car doors or bonnets - you paint on the real thing. Nothing is pre-prepped for you, you fix and prepare it yourself and take ALL your work away with you at the end of the course.

·         Our testimonials are all genuine and speak for themselves. They can be proved on request - just ask.

·         We teach you at your speed and capabilities. Start times are 10.00am and end when YOU'RE DONE. It's not uncommon to still be here at 10.00pm, (our record is 2am) but we're here with you all the way.

·         As well as the training, you will benefit greatly in understanding how to run your own business in our working environment. We will also teach you how to market and price your work as well as dealing with customers and setting up.

·         We don't pack you in for "maximum income". We could provide space for ten students but chose not to. Your strengths and weaknesses need to be analysed and addressed to get you to the required standard. There is so much to learn we only teach a maximum of 3 students per course. We will give you all the 1 to 1 teaching you need.

·         We teach both water and solvent based paint so don't push you towards just one product therefore giving you more options.

·         We are in one location all of the time. If you need us for support, we are here 24hrs. We are not the most flash or famous, nor are we here to boost our own egos. We are here to provide you with the best training in the industry. With over 15 years of teaching experience we guarantee, you will not find better training anywhere in the world.

Don’t just take it from me, our student pictures and testimonials speak for themselves

 

Testimonial from Dale Norman

 

I attended Mick's full course late 2008.  I have always had an interest in painting but never the confidence to take on work.  Mick's business “Paint my Ride” was the only package I could find that gave me everything that I wanted to be taught properly.  The full course covered repairs, preparation, painting, artwork and finishing.  I was somewhat sceptical that I could be taught this in such a small time but due to Mick’s professionalism and patience we cracked it all.

I have been a military man for over 25 years and have never come across a more professional and patient man ever.

I enjoyed each day and I’m being honest I didn’t want the course to end.  I completed a military themed tank of which I was the proudest painter alive, and I think our Mick even enjoyed it to!!!

I gained the confidence in taking on projects from the course, it is important you understand your own capabilities before doing so but I would have never imagined having the confidence to talk though a job, explain the different stages and see in your imagination the finishing product.

Since the course I have started the basis of my own painting business, I am in the process of completing a 1941 Norton tank for a magazine and this hopefully will open up some more cash paying customers.  I paint because I enjoy the finished product, I get too attached to my work but I have Mick to thank for that as his attention to detail and sense of ownership only rubbed off on me.

I recommend this course to anyone like me who enjoys the aspect of repairs and painting.  You could find cheaper courses but you will never find a better one, fact!!!

I will be using Mick to constantly improve my skills, Mick’s airbrushing skills are legendry and if I could be 1/2 as good then I would be happy.

In summary, value for money, top teaching ability, enjoyable, and most of all for me confidence inspiring.

 

Hello Mick.

Just a few words to say thank you for the Custom Motorcycle Spray Painting course I attended in October. I really enjoyed the time I spent at Paint My Ride and can honestly say I don't think I've ever learnt so much in such a short space of time! It's clear you obviously all put a lot of thought and effort in to the 11 days. As I explained before, previous to enrolling on the course I'd absolutely no experience in spray painting and now, 3 months later I'm doing my first paid job! I would recommend your course to anyone! 

Once again thank you all very much.

Adrian.

P.S. I'm very sorry this has taken me so long to write and if I can be of any assistance with talking to any would-be students then please do not hesitate.

 

Hi Mick,
 
Just a note to say thanks for the excellent course!! from zer to hero in 11 days. Amazing.  Always thought it was too difficult to spray bikes and used to give it to someone else to do, but now I’m actually getting asked for and getting paid!!
 
Course was fun, informative and structured brilliantly.  The instruction was patient and tailored so i could master the techniques as i went. I looked at other student pictures but I didn’t for one minute think I would achieve so much  The aftercare is brilliant and it's good to know your only a phone call away if i have any questions.
 
Money well spent and now I’ve just got to find the time to fit the work in!

I would be happy to chat to potential students, but not if they live by me!
 
Cheers again Mick,
 
Jay.

 

 

Hi Mick

 

Thanks for a great week and tailoring the course to suit my request. Thought I was only going to learn how to paint up a club racers bike but have come away feeling confident enough to do a full race rep and much more. 

Mick is superb at explaining the craft of creating something special, I amazed myself at the results I was able to achieve but only with the guiding hand of someone who believes in what he teaches to the point of perfection, even grinding 30 year old rust off a bike petrol tank was fun.

Cheers Mick, a really enjoyable week with a project completed to be proud of, see you soon to do the airbrushing course.

 

Mick Wainwright

 

 

Hey Mick

Thanks for the new start your course gave me. It gave me the ability not only to paint my own bikes but to start a small business. When I was on the course Mick said meeting him would be the best thing in my life
and the guy was right.
The content is intense but you're given the time and space to learn and understand what and why you have to do things. The mix of hands on teaching and the demo work well allowing each person to watch and return to
their own work to learn and progress.
The course works well being in a pro shop and not just in a class room just being told what to do. The days are long but every minute is worth it and at
the end you're amazed at what you can do in the little time you have there. While there you learn so many skills that you can take away and have fun while earning money. Every thing you need to start a business or just save
your self money on your own bikes.
Thanks for putting up with me and all the help and advice even after the course was over, their always on the end of the phone.

Thanks 

Ryan

 

This is a serious course for serious people. When you are looking for a paint course, you shouldn’t be looking at how famous the tutor is or how prestigious the teaching facility, you should be looking at the students work and in depth testimonials. I have no rivals in terms training. A bold statement in this current market, but a fact non-the less.
