Kevin Tetz is a nut. His light hearted demonstrations put you at ease. I really enjoyed this video. It's not major dent or body repair but rather an overview to the world of paint and body work. It's clear and easy to follow and presented in a way that makes you feel comfortable enough to give it a try yourself.

I think this -- and the others in the Paintucation series -- are good, but not great.

Their major value is to see someone go through a complete exercise start to finish and to see the actual movements and use of tools. It's much better than reading about it or seeing a sequence of "how to" still pictures.

With that said: Don't expect this DVD to be a compendium of body shop techniques. One type of dent is shown, using one type of removal technique. I thought it might actually go into a fuller discussion of metal bumping and the different types of tools available and which situations to use them in, etc. But, it doesn't.

I think the biggest value of this DVD (and Tetz's others) is that he sprinkles in little tips and tricks that he has accumulated through the years. These are things like: How to "dress" a bondo spatula to use it as a squeegee, or How to form a single edge razor blade into a plane-type tool for scraping sags and runs out of paint jobs. These are the techniques that no one writes about, but which proficient people "just know".

I liked the video because it covered all the bases without spending too much time on each segment. The time was taken to show the detail with the close up shots which really helps those of us who don't do body work all the time.

I've seen other videos with phones ringing, cars driving by, and airplanes flying over that cancel out the audio just long enough to leave me wondering what had been said.

The guy who did this video didn't seem to be a professional announcer or actor, although he did a really good job. When he talked about what he was doing, I felt like he had done the actual body work many times and to me, it comes across a lot better that way.

This is the first automotive video I've seen that is somewhere between being a slick production with the 3D graphics that plays like an infomercial and "be still baby you're shaking the camera", in other words right where it should be. I'm giving it the highest rating for that reason.

Good review of the basics of car painting. Not much said about how to do the job if you can't rent a booth.

Great info and tips, This DVD can make anyone a painter it seems ! Only flaw is he painted a white car, which at times was hard to see in the filming of it. A Blue or Red would have been nice. Great DVDS!
