How to Paint Muscle Cars like a Pro

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.

Kutschenlack, Asphaltschwarz & Nitroglanz - Fahrzeuglackierung zwischen 1900 und 1945

Bei der Aufarbeitung technischer Komponenten oder des Interieurs ist die Auseinandersetzung mit ursprünglich verwendeten Werkstoffen heute eine Selbstverständlichkeit und in der Literatur ausreichend dokumentiert. Zum Thema Fahrzeuglacke allerdings klaffte bislang eine enorme Lücke.

Das vorliegende Buch gibt die Promotionsschrift "Geschichte, Werkstoffe und Techniken der Fahrzeuglackierung zwischen 1900 und 1945" wieder, mit der die Diplomrestauratorin Dr. Gundula Tutt nicht nur das derzeit vollumfassendste Nachschlagewerk über Fahrzeuglackierungen in der Vorkriegszeit geschrieben, sondern auch die Basis ihrer Karriere als kundigste Lack-Expertin und eine der bekanntesten Oldtimerrestauratorinnen geschaffen hat.

Dieses Buch ist ein Muss für jeden, der sich mit der Restaurierung von historischen Fahrzeugen beschäftigt: In einer auch für Laien verständlichen Sprache gibt sie auf über 380 Seiten praktische Hilfestellung für die Erhaltung und Restaurierung historischer Fahrzeuge und gewährt tiefe Einblicke in einen Bereich der Oldtimerrestaurierung, der trotz seiner evidenten Rolle bislang nur wenig Aufmerksamkeit genoss.
