4.0 out of 5 stars Good source for custom painting, but some unneeded info, April 28, 2001
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Custom Paint: Techniques for the '90s (Paperback)
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.
