Right now I'm In the middle of OTC's custom paint and Graphics course out here in Cleveland Ohio. Im learning all about pin-stripping, masking, custom paint colors, water based paints, Vinyl graphics, and air brushing for 3 months. But thats not all they offer. Im not on here to sell this place to anyone im just seeing if anybody on here has ever heard of the place.

I was originally drawn to the place because they are one of the only schools in america that I could find that offered Classic restoration as a 2 year program, complete with upholstery and everything. But besides that they also have regular auto-body, automotive, auto-diesel, diesel, generators, welding, power sports, custom bike building, and even CDL training.

I like the place because it is alot better then UTI or Wyotech in that there are no clip cars, your always working on a new car or engine, not something that was recycled and had 50 other students work on it. Also it is a single institution so theres only one, not 5 or 6 like the others. But it does have its down sides, what they forgot to mention was they have a program with the prison so alot of your classmates are former inmates (guard your s*%t) and Cleveland just sucks in general.

But back to my point, I was just wondering if anybody had ever heard of this place of has even been here, because I never heard about this place until 7 months ago

Not in my program, when im done ill just have a certificate of completion. but they offer an associates degree in all their main programs, and they allow you to take tests and get your I-car points which apparently you need in the industry and will allow you to get more money
