Just Customz Review
When creating that head turning-jaw dropping project there is nothing that catches peoples attention more than a fantastic paint job. Unfortunately creating that awesome finish is often out of most peoples budget. This book is packed with photos and the latest information that will help the reader perform a lot of the manual labour and preparation or even spray the car themselves. The book covers a lot of information from buying the materials right through to spraying and finishing.
The book is divided into 11 easily digestible chapters each with lots of color photos supporting the text. The chapters are as follows;
- Automotive Painting Defined
- Automotive Paint Chemistry
- Supporting Products
- Tools, Materials, and Safety
- Bodywork
- Surface Preparation
- Masking
- Paint Application
- Extra Details
- Part Replacement and Reassembly
- Cleaning, Detailing and Maintaining
If you are looking to build a project on a tight budget (or even if you're not) this book has lots of invaluable expert advice that will prevent the novice from falling into any unforeseen pitfalls that only an expert maybe aware of.
