Monster Garage:How To Custom Paint damn near anything
Found this book to be helpful in the way it gave a brief but easy-to-read outline of the processes involved in all the main areas of custom painting. Being a flame enthusiast myself, I found it benificial as it showed the main skills required to carry out the job and the tools and equipment needed.

Its a good one but....
This book covers all the steps you need to know but the thing i didnt liked is that it have a few chapters from other books. So if you have "cheap tricks & special F/X of craig Fraiser" you will not be happy to see a part of this book (37 pages). and from onother book i have - one about pinstripping (also Craig Fraiser's) (33 pages). So if you dont have these books i will recommend to add this one to your collection.

What is it with flames?
Don't get me wrong, there is useful information in this book, just not a whole lot of it. And the over-emphasis on flame painting - what's that all about? Perhaps the book should have been titled "How to Custom Flame Damn Near Anything". As a practical guide to custom painting it falls short of the many superior other references out there. As a fan book for the Monster Garage series, forget it, as the show only gets a passing mention.
