5.0 out of 5 stars For people who like to paint everything in the house (and out), February 23, 2006

L. Reese (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Paint Just About Anything (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)

The main reason I like this book is because in the back it has a chart for whichever kind of surface you'd like to paint. The chart will tell you how to prepare the surface and which kind of paint would be best to go on that particular surface. If I want to go paint my walkway, the chart will tell me exactly what needs to be done so that it will last.

This review is from: How to Paint Just About Anything (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)

The book gives you a lot of good ideas but they don't seem to be anything different than what the BHG website offers. My opinion, check with the website first before buying the book. If you don't find it in the website than I recommend it.

This review is from: How to Paint Just About Anything (Better Homes & Gardens) (Paperback)

I absolutely love this book. It is great for a reference when you are trying to make what you already have work when you are trying to redo a room or a piece of funiture. I used the book to learn how to paint countertops in my bathroom. They turned out just great. If you want to paint something and you don't know how this is a great reference book. I would recommend it to everyone.

Was hoping for more detailed information. Good for beginner. Will add to my collection of how to books but wasn't that thrilled.
