Want to pull and fill a dent on your car and repaint it to look like new? All you need is planning, time, patience, and auto-repair guru Kevin Tetz's in-depth Body Shop Basics, which expertly covers one of the most common auto-body repairs. Although aimed at hobbyists and pros alike, this is not for duct tape (and ultimately credit card) mechanics, but rather those with a true love for sheet metal and shiny paint. Emphasizing safety throughout, Tetz offers step-by-step instruction in tool selection, bodywork, priming, sanding, blocking, painting (including blending), and buffing, as he fills a dent and repaints the entire side of a modern car. Boasting solid camerawork and fine video quality, this is highly recommended. Editor's Choice. [Note: also available at the same prices: Paint Your Own Car, Metal Prep & Rust Repair, and Colorsanding & Buffing.] Aud: P. (C. Block)
