How to Paint Your Car: Revised & Updated (Motorbooks Workshop)

I bought this book thinking it would guide you step by step on how to prep and paint a car for a novice, since if course your buying a book. But instead it lists lots of primers and sealers, coats and paints but very little instruction on how to actually do it. For instance it will show a tool, a brief description of what it is, and then almost no instruction on how to use it. This book reminds me of old Chilton Automotive manuals, where as it shows you 3 steps but skips 10 others. Unless you already know how to paint a car from beginning to end this book is too fragmented to help much

This book contains a great deal of information that is useful to someone who is a novice in regards to equipment, materials, preparation of surfaces, and painting. All steps are explained in detail with full color photographs. A great resource.

After years of using laquer I needed to start the education process on the 21st century paints. It doesn't explain everything (the subject is too complex) but it will educate you sufficiently to ask intelligent questions.

Never stop the study folks!

Good book to learn the entry level knowledge of auto body repair.

Great manual

Fast shipping and book was just as described

WILL IN FUTURE

Excellent quality book. Answers all the questions I had on my mind and others I had yet to consider. I hoped it would cover rust prevention and cure. It does ... but goes much deeper in pre-paint preparation. It also discusses the type of painting equipment required and their correct use. This is a lot of book for little money. Beautifully presented, printed, many colour illustrations, and superbly made. Recommended.

hi, this is a gift for my husband, he has had a quick look at the book but has not had time to read it properly, but he said it was interested the bits that he fliked through!! it is going to help a lot!!! thanku.....xxxx

As described very pleased

Pleased with content

Another quality motorbook publication. Loads of tricks and tips and once you have the wherewithal to convert from US measurements and products to those appropriate to your area, it's an absolute gold mine. Excellent photos and descriptions including tools, setting up, prepping and techniques.
