Automotive Paint Handbook
by John Pfanstiehl
Finally, a good painting book. Even though it is written for the automotive industry, it is 100% applicable and is based on the same high tech polyurethane and 2 part epoxy paints and primers that are commonly used on aircraft such as Imron, ChromaSystem, VariPrime, etc...
The use of modern HVLP guns are completely covered along with compressors, filters and health protection devices... Then, how to prepare your work, how to spray, how to prevent and resolve problems, how to conduct repairs, then custom techniques, paint care and cleaning, paint protection, paint inspection, etc... This is by far, the best paint book we've ever seen. Imagine a set of wings on the Chevy Corvette which is used throughout as examples throughout this book and you have the perfect aircraft paint book.
