Collision repair and refinishing

the long version

Collision Repair and Refinishing is a comprehensive textbook that covers non-structural repair, structural repair, painting, and refinishing for technical students in automotive collision repair programs. While the text and its supporting materials stand as a complete, turnkey instructional package, the chapter content is also designed to align with and augment leading industry-sponsored programs. The text has also been designed to cover the entire task lists as outlined by the current NATEF Standards for Structural Analysis & Damage Repair, Non-Structural Analysis & Damage Repair, Plastics & Adhesives, and Painting & Refinishing. This will equip collision repair programs with the appropriate teaching materials for retention of their NATEF-certified status, and enable those programs that wish to pursue first-time NATEF certification. - Preface.
