This is your complete guide to preparing and painting classic car bodywork. Includes information on tools, equipment and workshop, color matching, removal of old paint, and bodywork. Plus filler, including lead filler, flatting, masking and priming, and paint application, plus much more.

Painting a car is expensive when you take into account the cost of materials as well as the equipment required. However, doing the job yourself will save you money.

This book focuses on the smaller bodyshop as these are best suited for the home restorer; however, advice on how to use specialist tools is also provided.
