Build & Paint - for a rookie

OK - for someone interested in learning to build frames, and eventually paint them, what would be the best way for someone to learn how, given the following pre-existing conditions:

1) No prior (related) experience - never welded, or done any automobile work. Never done any detail paint work either.

2) Not in a position (either geographically, financially, or by credentials) to attend any of the clinics like Burnetts, etc.

3) Do not have a custom shop (for bike frames) close enough to try to apprentice with (although there IS a motorcycle shop that might have some information on paints...)...

Any references either for the building, or the painting operations..
Suggestions on setting up a home shop/workspace to do the above?
Thanks!
