 Good Introductory Book March 30, 2008
While this book doesn't go very in-depth, it does cover many subjects of paint and body including some rust repair (not a lot though). Good if you are trying to learn, enough to get started.

i am very new to the body work scene, it actually happened on accident. i got asked to do it at my new job. i just fix rust holes in junky BMW's in Germany, but i wanted to make my work look like it is supposed to be there. i havent read the entire book yet, but what i have read has been very helpful. the work i have produced is not perfect, but the tips i have gained from this book have made big improvements in the end. a little (by my standards anyway) amount of body filler makes the jobs turn out pretty good, but i am still playing around with the right mixture for the filler. a few more gallons of it, and i might be on the right track. but hey, the people around me are enjoying the contact buzz. wear a respirator as described in the book!
This book has been a big help for me.

After going through many books on car painting, this is without a doubt the best. Easy to find topics, very readable. If you are just going to read 1 book, this is it!

I knew very little on the subject and wanted to broaden my knowledge a bit. This book did the job just fine. I feel that I could easilly apply the things that I've learned from this book to jobs in the shop. It has plenty of information on the subject and covered everything that I wanted to get a grasp of. Excellent for the beginner like myself.

Having done some body repair and paint in the past, I was looking for a book with some good up to date info as well as tips and tricks for all aspects of body repair.
I picked this book up and couldn't put it down. Every section had an answer to a lingering question on how to move forward on my new project.
Very comprehensive and very straight forward. I highly recommend it to a beginner looking for some answers.
