How it works
Small cohorts, practical reps, clear next steps.
Start by joining the interest list. Red Barn will group students into cohort windows, confirm the exact class date, and keep the class small enough for useful hands-on time.
Curriculum
Five class tracks for paint, body, rust, welding, and refinishing.
The class path follows the order a real repair or project forces you to respect: read the panel, prep it correctly, solve the metal problems, then finish it in a way that holds up under light.
Dent Repair, Body Filler, Prep, and Primer
Learn how to read a panel, start filler work, sand, mask, prep, and understand primer basics before paint decisions start.
Rust Repair
See how rust changes the repair plan, where hidden damage usually appears, and what has to be documented before finish work.
Welding Fundamentals
A practical introduction to welding and metal-work decisions used in body repair and restoration projects.
Advanced Body Work
Panel fit, edge quality, body lines, straightness, and the details that separate quick repair from trustworthy work.
Refinishing, Color, and Clear Application
How refinishing decisions connect prep, color, clear, lighting, and the final finish check.
Cohort windows
New class cohorts are planned in roughly 12-week increments.
These windows collect interest and help Red Barn plan shop time. Final class dates are confirmed with each group before anyone pays.
