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

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.

Very good

if you already have basic idea this is great reference material , clearly divided into sections for easy acess

I could not ask for a better book on painting a vehicle. What I like the most is that with careful reading it does prevent the reader from the many pitfalls of autopainting. When I went to a paint shop I was confident. The book has bright pictures, good advice and I advise readers to also buy the book "The complete Guide to Auto body repair" as it is helpful and can work as a two part series. I bought my paint, Air-gun, books, hand sander from Amazon and look forward to purchasing clear-coat and primer sealer.

I really enjoyed this book; reading it is like reading a conversation rather than a textbook. It's very accessible, and brings even a novice up to speed to be able to understand terminology, technique and even goes down to explain the consequences of colour choices and ROI (return of investment). I just ordered myself the body word and rust books from the same author because I loved this one so much. The photos help a lot too, especially if you're a visual learner. This book, plus whatever you find on youtube you get a great sense of what you can accomplish.
