Default "Paint School"

I am in the process of building a composite (e-glass) aircraft, and am pretty much doing everything on my own. I'm comfortable with all of it, except the painting side.
I've considered hiring someone, but honestly it would be pretty cool to learn a skill along the way.
I was wondering if there are any schools that would have courses on just the painting side of the house? Or are they typically tied into auto body work as an entire curriculum?

I don't expect I will be an expert by any means, but it's going to be a pretty simple paint job overall.

Any suggestions?

most schools are a complete auto body course. I would suggest reading alot online or having some one that paints teach you if you do not want to go through a whole course.
