nobody?

 

why not take a class at a jc? better investment in my opinion, hands on learning

 

i graduated from wyotech collision and refinishing the taught alot but if ur looking for books or dvds go to tcpglobal.com they have a ton of stuff.

 

Not gonna tell you how to make a show car... but it has more than enough info for my daily...still not so sure I wanna paint it...but I sure will be doing my own body work. It will give you the basics and get ya going. Very good reading

thats a good book! it helps with a lot of the basics on DIY...if you PM me I might have some sites that can help...i must say its not as easy as it looks...i self learned and its cost me a lot of money...although I did learn on my own, even though i have a friend that paints himself which he gave me a free gun to do it...he saved me like $100 or $200...also saved me lots of money on body work and paint...just do a lot of reading before hand...there is a lot of good stuff on HT as well...have all meterials on hand and KNOW YOUR PAINTS thats key.
GOOD LUCK
