The book "Automotive Painting Technology" offers comprehensive and valuable insights into the complex world of automotive painting. It goes beyond traditional approaches that often focus on a single aspect, such as the chemistry of paints or the technology of spray booths. Instead, it adopts an integrative approach that incorporates the Japanese concepts of Monozukuri and Hitozukuri, which stand for product manufacturing and human development, respectively. This perspective is crucial for understanding how technological and human factors interact in automotive painting. The editors, Kozo Saito and Kimio Toda, draw on extensive experience from industry and academic research to present case studies and examples that demonstrate how these principles can be successfully applied in practice. The book not only provides an overview of advancements in automotive painting over the past decade but also highlights promising future developments.
