    Does anybody have a recommendation for a book on automotive painting? Right now I am learning by trying to figure out what I did wrong!

    There are many good videos on the u-tube. Paint Society looks pretty good from the little I have seen. Not planning on painting anything soon but it is good to keep
    up with the new paint formulations. From what I have seen, it appears that you want to stick with the same system through the whole process. Some of these new
    water-based systems can be real particular. Painted my first Jeep with Dupont Imron...a gold metallic, mostly used on aircraft. I did this in the base hobby shop in California. I am not sure
    you can even purchase Imron anymore unless you are a specialized contractor. I doubt it can be used in Cali at all as everything seems to cause cancer in that state.
