How to Paint Your Car: Revised & Updated (Motorbooks Workshop) Paperback – Illustrated, June 17, 2013

I could not ask for a better book on painting a vehicle. What I like the most is that with careful reading it does prevent the reader from the many pitfalls of autopainting. When I went to a paint shop I was confident. The book has bright pictures, good advice and I advise readers to also buy the book "The complete Guide to Auto body repair" as it is helpful and can work as a two part series. I bought my paint, Air-gun, books, hand sander from Amazon and look forward to purchasing clear-coat and primer sealer.

If you're looking to paint your car for the first time then this book is a must read. It details everything a beginner needs to know to get up to speed on painting their own car.

After years of using laquer I needed to start the education process on the 21st century paints. It doesn't explain everything (the subject is too complex) but it will educate you sufficiently to ask intelligent questions.

item re 1/6/25 thank you..

This book contains a great deal of information that is useful to someone who is a novice in regards to equipment, materials, preparation of surfaces, and painting. All steps are explained in detail with full color photographs. A great resource.

Did not go quit far enough in some areas like in the preparation part,like what grit to use in different situation

Best guide ever! The author breaks it down in a way that's understandable and explains options for people who don't have access to a paint booth.

Lots of info. Glad i read it.
