5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book on the subject of automotive painting.,

This review is from: How to Paint Your Car (Paperback)
Although, you should never rely on one source for all of your information. This book is very good in explaining the detail of the basics on painting any automobile. I kept this book near me as I painted my own car.I have yet to see a better book on the basics of painting an automobile. I recommend this book for any of you who are a beginner.

excellent book,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Paint Your Car (Paperback)
I'm not sure why some have called it disorganized. I found it well laid out with NOT too many photos and plenty of text. I found the content a bit more dated than John Pfanstiehl's Automotive Paint Handbook or Boyd's Coddingtons's How to Paint Your Hot Rod, but still an excellent choice. BTW these three books will give you all the info you need.

HOW TO PAINT YOUR CAR tells you how to paint your car. It tells people exactly what they need to to a professional job! Its not as hard as you think painting your own vehicle. This book TELLS YOU! A great buy. Well worth the money if you are thinking of trying to accomplish the task of painting your own car!-Jeff
