Cool Takes more than high school

That would be a bit early. First, work in the auto collison industry, working with paints, etc, some real professional detailing experience, then dealership work. Follow that up with some college or other courses in econ, business, a bit of public speaking, some journalism wouldn't hurt.
Then, learn sales and all that goes with it. Find a way to spend some time in an assembly plant, on the paint line. Gain the confidence of the major paint suppliers.
Then, come see me, but by then I will have passed the torch to 3 young men in their early 30's that are working for me now, they will be taking over for me.
You will find me on a golf course , somewhere it is warm and the drinks are cold.
