Great for the do-it-yourselfer,
By Rich M. (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: House Painting: Inside & Out (Fine Homebuilding) (Paperback)
This is one of those picture books for someone who has never painted anything before. NOT FOR a pro. I ended up skimming some of it. But There were a few points mentioned that would be helpful to someone who has never painted before. So if you are looking to fix up that living room or siding in this tight market and have never painted... try this.

I'VE LOVE THIS BOOK. AND I'VE READ OVER A DOZEN.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: House Painting: Inside & Out (Fine Homebuilding) (Paperback)
This is my most treasured painting bible. My house is a mess. Virtually everything needs serious work. Dixon gives me the confidence to tackle one project after another. His writing style is straightforward, reassuring, inspirational. He tells you everything you need to know to complete a job and be happy with it. Every painstaking stage of prep, helpful tips on additives, priming, carrying out each stage of painting process under every possible circumstance. I borrowed Dixon's book from the library so often that I spent more than the cost of it on overdue fines. Now it's mine. All mine.

A Correction,
By A Customer
This review is from: House Painting: Inside & Out (Fine Homebuilding) (Paperback)
Not much to add to the review below, but the description states that the book is 'color throughout'. In fact, most of the photos are in black and white. However, this does not detract from the information contained. There is a color section showing some house exteriors when discussing color choices. A good choice for the new homeowner who has never painted and wants to know how to do it right. It doesn't take much more effort to do the job right than to do it wrong for lack of knowledge.
