Painting: Interior and Exterior Painting Step by Step (Creative Homeowner) Beginner-Friendly Guide - Repair and Prep Surfaces, Select Equipment, Paint Like a Pro, Tips, and More (Home Improvement)

The book teaches us what kinds of paints to use on various surfaces, and how to prepare those surfaces.

My girlfriend loved it now she knows how to paint and I'm single lol

Not my favorite book on residential painting, but it is better than most and it has useful tips that make it worth reading. If you are into faux finishes and that sort of thing, it covers that. As one would expect based on the publisher, the book is more for homeowners than pro painters.

Solid - covers a lot of issues and was easily readable. Very simple and direct.

Well Written.

There is some useful information for all but the most seasoned professional painter. The amount of useful info will depend on your experience level. I have painted industrially for about 14 years and dabbled in house painting here and there (interior and exterior). I found some information that will help me from now on. When a book is reasonably priced around $20-30 range, is that not a good investment? The way I see it is, if I only learned one small tid bit of info, and that tid bit got me a word of mouth referral or secured my next job bid; then it was worth the initial investment of the book price. Only 3 stars because I wish it would have been more explicative of the beginner level of instructions. I was able to read the book in one day.

great was good value

One of the better how to books. Very useful for the novice--not sure for the pro. I love it!

Informativer Ratgeber mit vielen Fotos zum Streichen von Innenwänden, Türrahmen, Türen, Fenstern, Holzböden, Holzleisten usw. und Außenwänden (hauptsächlich Verkleidungen aus Holz außen am Haus, wie man sie in den USA kennt), Holzzäunen und auch von Metall.Es werden Werkzeuge, Farben, Vorbereitung der Wände, Arbeitsreihenfolge, Entfernung alter Farbe von Holz, Aufbewahrung von Farben und noch einiges mehr besprochen.Besonders gut haben mir die Ratschläge gefallen, wie ein Profi die Farbentöne auswählt, z.B. für Treppenstufen, Geländerstäbe, Handlauf oder Eingangsbereich oder Fenster und Haustür etc.Die gezeigten Bilder entsprechen dem heutigen westlichenGeschmack, wobei bei den Außenwänden US-amerikanische Haustypen behandelt werden.Ich finde das Buch sehr gelungen und auch gut verständlich. Die Schriftgröße ist normal und auf jeder Seite sind mehrere Farbfotos.Gerne empfehle ich dieses Buch weiter.

A Great book giving you a step by step break down I would recommend to anybody
