How to Paint Your Show Car (Motorbooks Workshop)

By Stefan R. Gesterkamp

One of the challenges of collecting, restoring, and showing classic cars is keeping the paint blue ribbon condition. If your restoration involves stripping and repainting the entire car, you'll want to precisely match the original color. If the goal is to preserve the factory paint, you may be touching-up certain areas with the goal of matching those areas to the rest of the car's weathered panels. Covering these topics and more, Stefan Gesterkamp leads the reader through the concours painting process. Whether doing it themselves or hiring a professional, the car's owner gains a solid foundation of knowledge before investing significant time and money into a paint project.
