 Bought it, read it (three times), Not for first timers, no detail June 28, 2008
Disappointed at best. Bought three books on the subject on Amazon at the same time. Believe it or not this was the best of the three. Gave up on the books and got more information from a paint shop guy. The picture on the cover of the 69 Camaro has nothing to do with the book (Yes, I have a 69 Camaro). It caught my eye and the author got my money. I read the other reviews and either they didn't buy the book and read it or something is funny.
 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!
Learned a lot on the subject July 6, 2007

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.
