Synopsis

This book is 157 pages of pure eye candy. Whatever the vehicle-from classic hot rod to pick-up to chopper-a custom paint job sets it apart. Paint will make or break any vehicle project. Paint is also one of the most costly elements of any custom project. But not all paint jobs are created equal, so how can you tell which style, technique, or scheme will suit the unique demands of your vehicle and budget? Before making a big investment-whether you're hiring a painter or doing the job yourself-turn to this book for a clear idea of what works and what doesn't. Drawing on years of experience running her own custom painting shop, JoAnn Bortles reviews the full array of options for paints, graphics, and effects. In an easygoing and engaging manner, and with photographs to illustrate her points, she explains the colors and paint designs that apply in various paint schemes and shows what might work especially well in certain situations and for particular vehicles. This book is the most comprehensive collection of custom paint photos that has ever been published with over 700 color pictures. If you're hiring a shop to do your paint, Chapter 2 shows how to find the right shop and painter for your project and how to work with that shop to get the best paint job you can get.
