5.0 out of 5 stars
great book on trim,

This review is from: How to Restore Metal Auto Trim (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I had some beat up trim pieces for two vehicles, a 57 belair and a 64 impala. After pricing replacement trim I realized I needed other options. I picked up this book and was very happy with it. It covers all aspects of repairing and restoring trim.
There were sections of replating that I skimmed over. all of my trim was stainless. The book walks you through tools and techniques. After reading it I went out and did some hammer work on the dents, then some sanding, then polished everything to a perfect shine. I think it looks better than the replacement trim I have seen on other cars. I am sure that some overseas factory worker is not putting the same attention into polishing the trim as I did. The book is a great addition to your library if you have some experience restoring trim, or its even better if you have absolutely no experience or idea where to start. It will walk you through the entire process with plenty of pictures too.

This review is from: How to Restore Metal Auto Trim (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
I had seen this book before but never bothered picking it up. After seeing more and more cars at shows with truly beautiful trim on them, I decided it was worth buying a book to learn how to make mine look like that. After reading this book cover to cover (and with some practice), I've gotten rather good at restoring the trim on my cars and cannot believe the results. The book is written well and easy to follow. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone with cars with chrome, stainless, aluminum, etc. trim. Your car will climb a level or two in appearance for sure.
