Information just where you need it
I have quickly read through some sections of the book to see where I could improve my knowledge of car paint spraying. Intending to spend more time on a rainy day to digest all the information I had a pleasant surprise. Every section and page was full of very clear and concise information that was easy to understand and easy to find again. Full of photographs showing details such as preparation through to painting problem correction this book is one very helpful guide that should be on any bookshelf even in these days of internet guidance. I recommend this book to anyone with a strong DIY background and who needs to make that poor old car look a bit better on the drive and even for those with more knowledge and a wish to restore that classic car in the garage under the dust sheet.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
