4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic..., December 31, 2003

By A Customer

This is a great book for people who want to learn about show car custom painting. I like the fact how much the book talks about spray booth setup and safety issue. Personally, I would like to see more about the spray gun technology section as well. I need a little more depth about different guns features and capabilities. Jon did mention a few of the guns but not detail enough, as least for me. I also like how the book take you through the entire painting process step by step from body work to lay down the final coat. It's amazing how much is involve. One more section I was hoping to see is how to paint the under carriage for normal day to day driving cars. It would be nice to see how to prep and paint rust proof coating. I guess that might be out of the scoop for the subject of this book. All in all, I do like this book very much.
