I found these bits after trawling the net.
www.carsprays.co.uk
This gives a basic overview of respraying and damage repair
www.chpower.com/pentry.asp?prid=CH3000&lid=10
This one gives a basic intro into a guy that rebuilt a ford mustang. The pics are good for basic details on how to prep a car, respray it and polish up.
Thought it would make a good start to those that want info on prep work and saves me repeating myself!
Feel free to add any other links
