How to Custom Paint Your Car (Motorbooks Workshop) Paperback – January 1, 1996

This book has a lot of great tips & amazing airbrush art! Thanks for the great deal!

I have a background in art. I pretty much read this book in one sitting. Plenty of pictures, lots of tips and tricks. Covers a ton of information. I'd consider this as not just a book, but a very exciting book. It covers thinking and rationale, it'll definitely give you some ideas. Well worth several rereads and study.

I have never painted a car, until I got this book. I bought it with another couple books on painting and it really helped. I had purchased an older MG that needed a paint job. So I used this book to help me with some idea and a little custom paint work.You won't become an expert just by reading this book. I actually practiced several of the techniques in this book a couple dozen times before I put them on the car. I was surprised, though, at the results. In fact, a car I paid only $800 for sold for over $2000 after I painted it. I had only done minor engine work (mostly tuning and cleaning) and then the body/paint work.The book is written for an average level reader. This is really good for someone that has little experience in car painting. I was most impressed with the fact the author gave clear instructions on several of the techniques being used.The chapter on flake paints gave me just enough information to understand what I would be dealing with. Even better was the chapter on basic tools and the chapter on pinstriping. While I didn't use a flake paint on the first project I did use some of the same techniques. It helped me lay a better foundation, which then gave me a good start for the stripes. I put wider pin stripes on that some might thing, but it went well with the overall body flow for the little Midget.My next project is a motorcycle gas tank and set of fenders. I'll try some of the other techniques from the book. So far my practice sessions have gone really well. I'm even surprised that I've been able to use some of the techniques with spray can paint, something I wasn't expecting. In all, the price of the book is very reasonable and the value was very high.

How to paint the flame accents on the cover car and other vehicles are covered in depth in this book. I find the author does his best at explaining the limitations of the new materials now used and tricks to ensure a quality paint job.

Excellent for anyone who wants to see step by step instructions; easy to understand and really informative. Would recommend to anyone interested in airbrushing.

Great book to learn the process of multi-layering paint colors with a clear-coat finish to protect the colors.

I got my book fast. I have really enjoyed studying and learning more about flames. Its great, I reccamend this book.

neat book!

Yet another excellant book from this author. She writes in plain words and pictures that are easy to understand and follow.She talks about probelms she has and how to fix them by talking to you in words and not at you like other books I have read on this subject. The best thing I can say is if you didn,t know how to paint your car read this book and ,with practice, you soon will.
