An overview of custom painting/techniques.

This book has been around for years.Although now outdated it was a good book for its time.Its an overview of custom painting and techniques.Plenty of basic information here.It might be a bit outdated but its okay for someone learning.I hope this book gets updated soon.It would be a great book in colour."Motorbooks" are known for their high quality books and this book is no exception.

Good source for custom painting, but some unneeded info

If you are going to do a custom paint job yourself, it would make sense that you're an experienced painter. This book has some unneeded information, as basics on painting in general, like surface prep, mixing paints, etc. I don't think a custom painter would want to waste his/her time reading this information all over again.This book is not all that bad, as there are some good information within it's content.It shows you how to mask custom flames/stripes, etc. I would not rely on this one book as your only source of information for custom painting.
