Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very GoodI found this book well written and informative for me, a beginner in body repair and painting. It covered most facets of body repair and painting. It's not an encyclopedia - for instance, the author mentions "slapping" and what it is used for, but doesn't delve into how to do it - perhaps that would be best for a book on metal working. All in all, this was just the ticket for me to touch upon all the subjects. Rating: - Great introduction for the noviceI was looking for a book that explained some of the basic restoration/repair principles for a novice. This book does just that.

Bought three books on the subject on Amazon at the same time. Believe it or not this was the best of the three. Gave up on the books and got more information from a paint shop guy. The picture on the cover of the 69 Camaro has nothing to do with the book (Yes, I have a 69 Camaro). It caught my eye and the author got my money. I read the other reviews and either they didn't buy the book and read it or something is funny. Rating:  - Good Introductory BookWhile this book doesn't go very in-depth, it does cover many subjects of paint and body including some rust repair (not a lot though). Good if you are trying to learn, enough to get started. Rating:  - pro paint and bodyi am very new to the body work scene, it actually happened on accident. i got asked to do it at my new job. i just fix rust holes in junky BMW's in Germany, but i wanted to make my work look like it is supposed to be there. i havent read the entire book yet, but what i have read has been very helpful. the work i have produced is not perfect, but the tips i have gained from this book have made big improvements in the end. a little (by my standards anyway) amount of body filler makes the jobs turn ...
