A painting facility is needed for auto painting. The author suggested using the painter’s garage as long as overspray and proper ventilation were considered when setting it up for that use. A quality paint job takes planning and a great deal of work. Body repair work and rust removable is easier and more effective after disassembling body components. Rick Bacon and Dennis Parks also recommended that mechanical work, if needed, be done before painting to avoid damage to a new paint job from mechanical component reassembly. Depending on how much mechanical work needs to be done and how many work hours can be made available, a budget-minded DIYer could spend weeks securing the parts and completing these repairs. After mechanics and body repair work, surface preparation can begin. The process of adding fillers, mixing paint products, masking against overspray with tape and coverings, priming, and sanding takes many more hours. The authors described the steps needed to be followed to complete these tasks and then went on to address topcoats, how they’re used, and the characteristics of topcoat products. I found the last chapter on maintaining a car’s finish inciteful and much appreciated as I’ve felt that I was doing a good job of finish preservation since purchasing my car. Included at the end of the book is a small appendix that lists auto-paint material sources to help the DIYer get started on the painting project. Car Painting on a Budget was what I needed to think through and plan my car painting project. In the end, I decided that it wasn’t for me. Despite this conclusion, however, I benefited greatly from reading about the process and it left me with a good understanding of what goes into a painting project. I can now justify the costs that a paint shop charges for an auto paint job. I’m glad that I decided to read this book before taking on an auto paint job. It saved me from starting a project that I didn’t have the time to complete and would lead to an unsatisfactory result. ![]() This is an excellent book for anyone contemplating a major paint job. Two caveats: you should have some experience in basic body work and painting before trying something too exotic. And the ‘on a budget’ part is relative. Reading this book will show what to expect and what it will cost. If you don’t already have the tools and paint booth, it might be too expensive for DIY. Whatever your level, you will learn a lot from this. The chapter on Masking, for example, is invaluable. Read this first to help plan the job. ![]() sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
