only way is to get stuck in and learn it for yourself nothing else compares. find yourself a few dented pannels from the scrappy and have a go at sorting them out. thats how i learnt

What makes you think its much better in body repair? My advice to you would be to stay clear of the motor trade mate, its hard to earn LOADS of money and if your on good money your usually working every hour god sends. Its a great skill and very helpful just not a great career path, esp considering how unstable the motor trade is currently.

Unless you own your own garage then bodywork is not a very well payed job either. The customers get charged a lot but most of it goes to the boss lol
