This book does not cover any of the paint or welding technology that has developed in the past 10 years, which is critical knowledge for today's auto restorer.

This book is extremely outdated! It appears that the book was written in the mid 70's and the authors have made little attempt to bring it up-to-date. If you need to know how to work with lead fillers this book is a must for you, if not save your money!
 Good book June 2, 2001

For the beginner this is a good book. It haves informations about weld, hammer and dolly work, panels, paint and more, and is very easy to be read, but for the professional it doesn't add very much.
 AutoPainting do's and don'ts for the pickiest tastes September 6, 2000

Being a meticulous person, I thoroughly researched all the available books when I made the decision to paint my 1976 280Z last spring. As I poured through book after book while sitting in my favorite bookstore back home in Seattle, I narrowed the search down to this book based solely on the well explained terminology this book offered. It described in detail, the safety precautions that should be taken very seriously, as well as the pressure to set the gun up with. Color pictures along with black and white, all the needed technical areas were covered with competence that could only come from a good teacher. I had prior painting experience so making the choice was slightly skewed, but having painted bombs for the military didn't qualify me to paint a car! I learned why certain paints were to be avoided, and others were highly recommended. All the needed techniques were very complete in their descriptions, and when the time came for me to begin painting, I was feeling confident I would be pleased with the results. In the end, I had a couple small over spray blemishes, and one small sag. The book offered methods to stop this from happening and the needed techniques to avoid it in the future. As well as informing me how to solve the problem. My car was completed, and looks like a professional did it. I can say without the aid of this book, I would NOT have been very displeased with the final results. Research them yourself, and I'm certain you will come to the same conclusion, this is probably the best source of information in print regarding automotive painting styles, techniques, and safety precautions.
