I'm looking for a book about auto body work. My car has stone chips on the hood, a couple of deep scratches and rust around a wheel well. These jobs should be fairly easy to fix myself but I have zero experience or knowledge of paint/body repair. Anyone have suggestions for an easily understood and helpful book?

if it's your first time, dont be suprised if you screw up..body work is a skilled trade...the more you do it, the better you get.....

I already screwed up just following the instruction of the Touch-Up paint kit. :coy:
That is when it became clear to me that reading a good book first was necessary.

The hood of the car has so many stone chips after 210,000 KMs that it will have to be done professionally. So it makes the perfect canvas to practice on so when I do the other minor flaws on the rest of the body it could look ok.
