3.0 out of 5 stars A great book for the price!, December 7, 1998
By A Customer
I enjoyed the book. it has a lot of color photographs and ideas. It covers cars and motorcycles too. Not for the novice really. The main complaint is that they are trying to pitch their own line of paint that the author manufactures called Kustom Kolor. I'm sure it is great paint but I didn't buy the book for a history of his company or to learn how great his paint is. It does have a lot of good tips though. A good buy for the price. The author is a very famous auto repainter.

2.0 out of 5 stars GREAT TRIBUTE TO KOSMOSKI!, April 4, 2004
By Roger Cook (Van Nuys, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was designed around the ego of Jon Kosmoski, and most of the book is designed to glorify and promote his Kolor House line of paints, and there are very fgew secrets to be had. If you are interested in Jon Kosmoski's life history and the millions of dollars he has made with his Kolor House Paints, then it is great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice for the intermediate painter, February 12, 2005
By Mikey H. "mhulslan" (Westminster, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This book covers equipment, processes, and project planning very well. There is minimal "how to" for the novice, however. I'd definitely recommewnd a beginning painter start elsewhere, and move into this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Commercial for House of Kolors
If you use PPG paint, there's nothing there for you. They make painting sound so complicated that you'll want to take your car to a shop. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not the best
This book contains some good information. Although, it is not put together well. It seems to lack focus and doesn't flow well. Read more
