As are all Haynes Manuals this book is an excellent source of information for do-it-yourselfers. Problem is they need to update the book. When I asked for some of the "new" paint products at a body shop they told me I would need to go to a museum.
This book is a skillfully written and well illustrated overview of the paint and body techniques of the late 1980s. You are better off looking at this one at the library and buying an up-to-date book.
Well written, well organized, lots of good information. If you are like me and want to attempt some of my own body work, this book is for you too. A lot of books on this subject just skim the surface of the topic and show a few pictures. This book is well organized, in depth and easy to read and learn from. Well worth the price. Like many Haynes manuals, it pays for itself first time out. Thanks Haynes, thanks .Regards, Pag
I nicked my newly painted hotrod doors hanging and adjusting, I needed to know how to repair the paint and blend. I read this book, tried its directions and vow-la, I half way did a good job. Books are good to have when you need pictures and instructions, this book is superb with that.
It added a bit to my knowledge base. The main point that I did not like was that it gave a picture and did not flesh out the details very far. If used in conjunction with other manuals or a video a beginner should have a pretty good idea of what they need to do. Overall a pretty good manual.
This is a good book of instructions for the DIY who has a talent for doing automobile repairs. The book is quite informative and helpful.
Love this book its very informative I have done much to my old truck with the knowledge of this book. So I like it
It is never good to draw from just one sourse. This was a good second sourse for info on autobody.
