Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is more of a restoration book than just a book on preparing and painting a car body.
The section on welding equipment was especially useful to me. There are colour pictures of carburizing, neutral and oxidizing flames which I had always found confusing.
The painting section has useful information on paints, safety and common paint defects.
A very useful short series of photos is included on how to build a 'copy' mould for fibreglass parts.
The book is short but contains condensed information on almost everything a person restoring or painting a car will run into. Obviously, when you strip down a car for painting you will notice all the rusted areas and you will have to deal with them.
There are lots of good books out there with more detail on painting, welding and composites but I don't regret getting this book as I refer to it often. If you're just starting and need basic information for your project then this is a good buy but remember this is NOT a metalworking book. It won't teach you how to use an English wheel or weld aluminium if thats what you're after. There is information on these subjects in other books.
