Chilton's Guide to Auto Body Repair and Painting

Chilton's Auto Body Repair and Painting was written to guide you through the process of auto body repair. Major wreck repair should be left to an experienced professional, but this book can save you the money you would pay an auto body shop to make the less complicated repairs. Chilton's Auto Body Repair and Painting shows you professional repair techniques using step-by-step photographic sequences of actual repairs. Each repair gives the time required, the tools and materials you'll need and an explanation of how to use them. Separate sections explain how to use various tools and equipment, how to care for the new paint job and how to install inexpensive body side molding to protect the body from future scratches and dents. With higher auto body repair costs, insurance rates and deductibles, this is a book for everyone who owns or operates a car - if you want to save money doing-it-yourself.
