Solvent-based paints have been used in automotive applications since the days when automobiles were called "buggies" and the horsepower was provided by, well, horses. But recent EPA regulations have restricted solvent-based paints for use only in approved professional paint booths, meaning that do-it-yourselfers can no longer use them - and it won't be long before their use is banned entirely.

Paint manufacturers have raced to develop water-based paints as a replacement for the solvent-based paints previously used. These new water-based automotive paints are of very high quality, but they require different methods and techniques for proper application, virtually rendering previous automotive paint books obsolete.

"SATA Auto Paint from Prep to Final Coat" is the first book to provide instruction in these new paints. In addition to providing this critical information, author and top professional painter JoAnn Bortles covers all the techniques necessary to get the great results your car deserves.
From initial body-panel preparation, to troubleshooting common problems, to applying the final coat and all steps in between, this book is the only reference you will need to ensure your DIY automotive paint job is done right the first time.

Taking you step-by-step through each stage of the painting process, from planning, preparation, and safety, to final painting and finishing, this book will give you the skills and the confidence you need for a perfect finish.

The value and collectability of muscle cars has never been higher. Models that sold for $30,000 at auction 10 years ago are now going for quadruple that in many cases. The charts showing auction results, sale prices, and car value have a continuous upward trajectory. As such, some rare models of muscle cars are now valued in the realm of historically high-valued classic, sports, and show cars. Who would have dreamed that a Hemi 'Cuda convertible would be selling for Duesenberg or Ferrari money these days?

Of course, when values of muscle cars increase to such an extent, the care and detail spent on restoration becomes vitally important, putting them into the exotic and show car realm. Naturally, the most visible aspect of a full-blown restoration is the paintwork.

Veteran author Tony Thacker teams up with LA-based award-winning painter extraordinaire Mick Jenkins in "How to Paint Muscle Cars & Show Cars Like a Pro" to show you how to create a beautiful finish.

The book includes chapters on making a plan, the tools needed for the job, complete disassembly information, repair versus replacement decisions, metal prep, the latest and best paint products, application, custom finishes, and more.
Boost the value and collectability of your muscle car with this complete guide to show-quality painting.

Es ist ein Dauerthema bei allen Old- und Youngtimer-Besitzern: Rost! Nicht minder eifrig diskutiert werden die geeigneten Strategien, um die "braune Pest" möglichst lange vom geliebten Blech fern zu halten. Aber welches Mittel ist das geeignete? Konservierungswachs, Öle oder doch lieber Fette?

Die Spezialisten der Oldtimer Markt sind in einem aufwändigen fünfjährigen Langzeittest dieser Frage nachgegangen. Bekanntermaßen ist die Entscheidung für einen Hohlraumschutz ein Bund fürs Leben: Denn was einmal drin ist, bekommt man nie wieder raus! Schließlich geht es darum, hunderte Restaurierungsstunden oder einen unverbastelten Originalzustand möglichst lange zu konservieren.
Es geht um Emotionen und Werterhalt und um das gute Gefühl, im Kampf gegen Rost wirklich alles getan zu haben.
