Reviewer: Retro Cars Magazine - Jan 2006 from UK   0 Stars
If you're confident enough to tackle painting your restored classic at home then you need all the help you can get and How To Paint Classic Cars aims to give you all the information you need before you make a mess of things. Starting with the basics of older paints versus modern technology, the book covers tools, colour matching, paint removal and the tricky business of actually spraying it. Body repair techniques including panel beating, colour matching and surface preparation are also covered. Many of the illustrations cover modern cars but paint is paint after all. It doesn't detract from the information in the text and Thaddeus's work is undeniably comprehensive. If you're a first-timer or just hoping to refine your technique, this book could help you avoid some much more expensive mistakes.
