Any good books out there on paint and body work?
« on: December 20, 2005 - 02:39:53 PM »
Hello,

I am looking for a good book detailing  modern products and procedures on doing body work and paint work.

I could do a "driver" with what I know now but I would like to learn a little more without having to take a class at the local tech school.

Just looking for a good "How-to" book.

Thanks!

I can't help you, but I want to say I like your enthusiasm.  :thumbsup: I wish I knew more about body work. What I know is it is tougher than I ever figured.  :grinyes: I'm glad you want to learn while you are young, instead of older like me.  :banghead:

I learned mine from hanging out with good bodymen. with youre want to learn most guys will be happy for eager help. and you cant beat hands on learning.  Ive found some great friends from this also.

as far as "  modern " goes  buying replacement panels is the way to go.  repairing old sheet metal is just too  time consuming & requires
lots of patience.
