Question

How do you learn how to customize interior so I can open up a interior shop?

Answer 1

You can either go work for an upholstery shop and learn that way or go to a trade school.

Automotive upholstery is not something you get out of a self-help manual or by watching a DVD, you need hands on practice.

Maybe a local custom shop will let you hang around in your free time being a gofer and picking up experience.

Answer 2

first you have to be a good designer to enable you to be able to come up with interior ideas,then be good at sewing because there's a lot of that involved,then you need to be able to do the designs,somethings look good on paper but not after you do them on a car,you have to be able to vision what the car will look like once its done,and that takes a few years to learn,but its possible to learn all of this,it just takes time,and a lot of patience,there will be many bumps in the road before you learn to get one looking really good,good luck.
