This book covers painting equipment, the ins and outs of prep, masking, painting and sanding products and techniques, and real-world advice on how to budget wisely when painting your own car. It is the most practical automotive painting book ever written!

Customer Review: outstanding
This is the best, by far, of 3 books I have purchased on automotive painting. It is very current and well written. The book details multiple examples of painting scenarios from touch-ups to frame-off paint jobs. There are numerous examples of cars painted by the author and others in their own garages, just like most poor car junkies would do. Great examples of equipment, paint products, proper use, safety concerns, etc. He really leaves no doubts as to what you need to know in order to pull off your paint project. I have a car torn down to paint and as I do it, this is the book that will be my guide.
Customer Review: Great Book !!!!!
Easy to read and full of good information. Author has a sense of humor that makes the book much more entertaining than I had anticipated! Perfect for the person who wants to paint their own car on a budget!

Motorcycle Insurance

These days simply being careful while out and about with your bike and using safety gear is not the only protection you would need. Motorcycles have a far higher rate of accidents per unit distance than cars. This is due to the exposed rider and the fact that many automobile drivers fail to see these smaller vehicles in the traffic stream.

Also, as the law and lawsuit trials become more and more “complicated,” you might even end up paying for the guy who was talking on his sell phone while driving, failed to see you and pushed you in the ditch. Of course, he had a good lawyer. And you, … well, your brand new bike is bits and pieces, not to even mention being hurt from the fall.
