 Painting your own car? You need this book! July 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I first started reading this book my first reaction was, "I better leave this to the professionals." As I got further in, I became more comfortable and decided to go for it. The step-by-step instructions and the illustrations made the job easy. I was very pleased with the results. I would recommend this book to anyone serious about attempting to paint their own car and getting the job done right.

I found this book to be very informative, especially in the details that you can't get in conversations with experts. something about writing them down. Thank you very much. I just successfully painted my old truck

Typical over load on words pertaining to auto body shop repairs and prep for painting,"but lacks in information on painting a car. Out of 159 pages of print there is only 6 pages that actually decscribes anything that ressembles painting. I wish i had known this before i wasted my money. I would not recommend this book.

Firstly,I noticed that there was an earlier edition of this book.Be sure you get the "Motorbooks Workshop" series version.
I am pleased with this book as I have spray painted cars before.This book is a great guide to painting your car.All the photos are in colour.(Must be a new trend in books being published using colour photos).This book explains in detail about everything you need to know about painting your car including current paint technology,products,safety,bodywork,preparations,masking,painting and detailing.This book covers the lot.Sound advice with plenty of information make this book worthwhile.An ideal beginners guide.The price alone makes this book good value.Even has tips on custom painting too.Highly recommended.
