5.0 out of 5 starsAutoPainting do's and don'ts for the pickiest tastes
By Stephen Voss on September 6, 2000
Format: Paperback
Being a meticulous person, I thoroughly researched all the available books when I made the decision to paint my 1976 280Z last spring. As I poured through book after book while sitting in my favorite bookstore back home in Seattle, I narrowed the search down to this book based solely on the well explained terminology this book offered. It described in detail, the safety precautions that should be taken very seriously, as well as the pressure to set the gun up with. Color pictures along with black and white, all the needed technical areas were covered with competence that could only come from a good teacher. I had prior painting experience so making the choice was slightly skewed, but having painted bombs for the military didn't qualify me to paint a car! I learned why certain paints were to be avoided, and others were highly recommended. All the needed techniques were very complete in their descriptions, and when the time came for me to begin painting, I was feeling confident I would be pleased with the results. In the end, I had a couple small over spray blemishes, and one small sag. The book offered methods to stop this from happening and the needed techniques to avoid it in the future. As well as informing me how to solve the problem. My car was completed, and looks like a professional did it. I can say without the aid of this book, I would NOT have been very displeased with the final results. Research them yourself, and I'm certain you will come to the same conclusion, this is probably the best source of information in print regarding automotive painting styles, techniques, and safety precautions.

1.0 out of 5 starsoutdated
By A Customer on September 1, 2001
Format: Paperback
This book does not cover any of the paint or welding technology that has developed in the past 10 years, which is critical knowledge for today's auto restorer.

1.0 out of 5 starsDon't waste your money or time
By BD on August 13, 2001
Format: Paperback
This book is extremely outdated! It appears that the book was written in the mid 70's and the authors have made little attempt to bring it up-to-date. If you need to know how to work with lead fillers this book is a must for you, if not save your money!

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book
By Kleber Navarro Figueiredo on June 1, 2001
Format: Paperback
For the beginner this is a good book. It haves informations about weld, hammer and dolly work, panels, paint and more, and is very easy to be read, but for the professional it doesn't add very much.

4.0 out of 5 starsA Good Introductory Paint and Body Book
By miolchu on May 3, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book despite reading some less than complimentary reviews posted on Amazon. After reading and re-reading the book I found it very useful for making some decisions about remedying 20 years of neglect on a Dodge 3000 Ram Van. Another reviewer pointed out some of the information is dated, especially regarding welding and some of the newer type paint applications.

I am handicapped by a liberal arts education. The chapter on metal bumping was especially useful as the Van body is heavy enough that I was able to utilize the Writer's guidelines to bump out a teardrop shaped dent in the right rear quarter panel corner. The bumping was sufficiently successfully that I did not need to use any filler at the site that I bumped out. I elected to have some holes made by the previous owner to install towing mirrors on the door welded closed so that I could install OEM side view mirrors.

I will need to reread the chapters on prepping for priming and painting. As I have elected to use an application that is newer than the primers and paints covered in this text I will need to obtain as much information as I can.

I suspect that paint and body technology changes over time; it would probably not be profitable for the author to constantly update the text. However, that said, Paint and Body Handbook remains useful as a reference for anyone venturing into what is obviously a specialist area of automotive maintenance and Repair.
