What is Paintucation University?

Paintucation University is an ALL NEW web based Interactive Training Course that utilizes the power of interactivity within the training videos taught by TV Host and Master Trainer Kevin Tetz. Paintucation University provides a more complete educational format than boring training videos, by using state-of-the-art interactive courseware which requires the user to pass each section, to move on to the next. This is all built around Kevin Tetz’s decades of experience. When you complete the course, you will be provided an exclusive Paintucation Certification and you qualify for Axalta Certification. You are encouraged to go back and repeat any and all courseware as often as you like. Also get exclusive offers and additional training resources within the training system itself. We have recently taken the complete course and divided it into 3 sections #1 Basic Skills, #2 Body Work and Priming, and #3 Painting and Polishing. So you don’t necessarily have to purchase the complete course, unless you want the Axalta certification. You can just purchase the individual sections you may be working on, or would like to learn more about. Axalta certification requires that you complete the entire course, or all 3 sections individually.

The Paintucation University course is essential for the Do it yourself automotive enthusiast or the skilled professional.IT serves as great introduction level education and also as a great refresher for those that don't work in the profession on a day to day basis that might need a simple reminder here and there. I have a 1994 Ford Bronco, for those of you unfamiliar with Broncos, simply put, they love to rust! With the help of these videos, and pretty much these videos alone I was able to replace body panels, such as fenders, I sanded down to bare metal, primed, blocked, repainted, clearcoated, color sanded, and buffed to obtain the perfect finish. Something that I had never done before and now I get complimented on my once rust old truck time after time. I would recommend them to anyone in the auto body industry looking to build a foundation from the start. I believe these videos would serve an amazing purpose for those shy about entering automotive bodywork certification education as an excellent learning curve so that you have the confidence to broaden your horizons like myself. I was a little shy about taking courses at my local community college because like I stated I never had any previous experience in this field but was highly motivated to learn. I felt like the exclusive course gave me the motivation to actually go and do the work and I didn't feel so out of place and lacked knowledge in potentially a group full of bitter and angry internet “experts”.

Kevin Tetz is a nut. His light hearted demonstrations put you at ease. I really enjoyed this video. It's not major dent or body repair but rather an overview to the world of paint and body work. It's clear and easy to follow and presented in a way that makes you feel comfortable enough to give it a try yourself.

This course works! The knowledge you will gain from this course and the steps WILL prepare you for when you begin to apply them hands-on. Like many of you, years ago I was faced with the task of having to find someone to do my body and paint work on my old Camaro. I am a auto technician by trade, so mechanically I had things covered. However, body and paint was a huge cloud hanging over the car I was restoring. After following all the knowledge I learned from Kevin Tetz, and the processes he lays out in the Paintucation curriculum, I then started seeing results and gaining confidence. Without a doubt, this course helped me learn and sharpen a new skill in body and paint that not only helped me build a nice Camaro, but also opened doors for other clients to ask me to do their cars as well. My car has won 2 shows, featured in a calendar and a magazine.. and I owe a large part of that to the skills I obtained from Kevin and his step by step knowledge he lays out in Paintucation. Apply what you learn from this course to the real hands on process, and you WILL see the results. Paintucation and patience!! Thank you Kevin Tetz for harnessing all your years of wisdom into a course like this!

The Paintucation University series was the best $350.00 I spent on material… Nothing beats hands-on experience guided by a professional, but this comes close!!!

Mike

Every time I look at my car i have to thank Kevin Tetz and the Paintucation U course for all the great information and training!

Couldn’t be more happy!

Jeff

After proper gun setup and using the air sound technique taught by the paintucator Kevin Tetz, I sprayed one of the best panels ever with single stage today!
