I used to be an autobody guy back in the 1980s, before I learned that in my area it pays better to work in a factory. And much healthier...

However as I look in a paint supply store, I see the scene has changed. New type of paint systems, different recommendations of products, etc.

Hoping someone here can direct me to a good website, or maybe better yet, an excellent book for restoring our "A"s with modern paint systems, including sandpaper products and primers. I have a shop to do this in, but it's dated too.

I have my pickup cab on a rolling platform, and the roof off, and most of the replacement parts ready. Will use a Porta-Power to finish getting the twist out of the cab.

Just need info on the latest refinishing techniques & products...thanks
