Define A Path That Fits Your Lifestyle

The Life You Want Starts Now.

Start your career now. Earn while you learn. Specialize in residential or commercial painting. Whichever direction you want to take, you can design your career the way you want it.

Balance

Painting is a career that lets you truly leave work at work – giving you time for the other important pursuits in your life.

Empowerment

Painting empowers you to take on challenges, build skills, achieve your potential – and start your own business if you want to.

Freedom

Why go to the same workplace every day? When you paint, the whole world is your office – without that whole “tied to a desk” thing.
