Meet your instructor

Hi, I'm Tony B. Richie

I believe anyone can learn to paint like a professional—with the right guidance. I've spent the last 30+ years proving it.

I started painting in my father's body shop at 13 years old, completed my first full car at 15, and eventually owned my own auto body shop. In 2009, I founded LearnAutoBodyAndPaint with one mission: make professional auto body training accessible to anyone willing to learn.

Since then, I've helped more than 25,000 DIY painters worldwide restore classics, repaint daily drivers, customize motorcycles, and build skills they never thought possible—all without expensive equipment or years of trial and error.

Whether you're picking up a spray gun for the first time or refining your technique, my goal is simple:

​Help you paint with confidence, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve results you'll be proud to show off.

Don't take my word for it

In their own words...

★★★★★

"I built the ride of my dreams!"

Quoted $8,000 to paint my 91 Camaro — did it myself with VIP. Came out so good I now paint cars for customers!

— Cody Carson

★★★★★

"The info inside is unbelievable!"

Went from an interest in detailing to making big money custom buffing & detailing customer cars. Well worth the small investment.

— Ronnie F. — Texas

★★★★★

"I recommend this to anybody!"

I'm 30 and never tried auto body before. Now I'm disassembling cars, doing bodywork and painting. Everything is step-by-step.

We've got your back!

95% of paint reactions are avoidable. When you hit a snag, I'll help you take control and fix it fast — even mid-paint — on our weekly live calls.

You've got 2 options

Option 1

Do nothing

Keep wondering "what if," keep guessing from random YouTube videos, keep putting your dream project on hold for the "right time" that never comes — and keep paying body shops that don't care about your car.

Option 2

Invest in yourself, master a skill, save thousands and even earn a side-hustle.

Join the thousands who chose to learn a skill that pays back for life. Get results fast, save money forever, and finally build the ride that you've been dreaming of.

Your project is
waiting. Let's go!

You're minutes away from everything you need to start turning heads. All the
risk is on me — 30-day money-back guarantee, plus $147 in bonus guides to keep.
