"This is one of the best paint books I've ever seen. If you're an auto enthusiast or a professional, you MUST HAVE this book." Dale Pearlman, National Corvette Restorers Society Book Review.

More than just a book on how to paint your car, the Automotive Paint Handbook is a comprehensive resource that covers the entire field of automotive paint technology, from types of paint and how to perform a complete paint job, to advanced OEM factory paint techniques, paint care and inspection. For years, paint professionals from companies such as DuPont have used this book for training. Now fully revised and updated, this best-selling HPBook now has the latest information available from the paint industry.

Professionals will find sections on advanced techniques, spray equipment technology, regulations and paint inspection invaluable. Students will benefit from the training and certification sections to help launch their careers. Enthusiasts can learn to custom paint flames and stripes, detail paint to a gloos-like shine, and make small paint repairs. Even consumers will be much more informed when it comes to dealing with a body shop. All information is presented in layman's terms and fully illustrated with hundreds of photos and line drawings. Plus, there's even a full color paint troubleshooting chart and a comprehensive paint industry glossary.
