About the Author

Martin Thaddeus was born in Crawley, England, in 1959, one of nine children. After leaving art college, Martin worked as a graphic artist but surgery to his right wrist led to retraining as a panel beater. After 10 years in crash repair and salvage, Martin chose to specialise in classic restoration which appealed to his creative nature. Customers have always been welcome in Martin's workshop and many have got their hands dirty under his watchful eye. Married for 23 years, Martin recently lost a kidney and his wife Elaine recently gained one! They have three grown up children.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 1 Feb 2008
By Mr. David Austin (Leicester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book to do some painting on my 50 year old Morris Minor. The book was completely lacking in the basic information I needed such as: Do I need to put Red Oxide on bare metal? Do I abraid this first and if so what with. How many layers of primer do I put on and do I abraid before putting on another coat If so what with. How long do I leave the primer before putting on the top coat? How many top coats do I put on. I read somewhere eight. Do I abraid before applying another coat as stated on the spraycan? If so what with? Paper? what grade? Also I would have liked some advice in spray technique. I discovered too little gives a matt finish, too much gives runs! How do I get it right? Unfortunately none of these questions were answered in this book.
