Customer Reviews

Some information out-of-date3
As are all Haynes Manuals this book is an excellent source of information for do-it-yourselfers. Problem is they need to update the book. When I asked for some of the "new" paint products at a body shop they told me I would need to go to a museum.

Good overview, but dated3
This book is a skillfully written and well illustrated overview of the paint and body techniques of the late 1980s. You are better off looking at this one at the library and buying an up-to-date book.

Not a bad second book3
It is never good to draw from just one sourse. This was a good second sourse for info on autobody.
