Today's custom motorcycles feature elaborate paint schemes worthy of hanging in museums and worthy of even more elaborate price tags. A top-notch paint job can cost thousands—even tens of thousands!—of dollars.

In How To Custom Paint Your Motorcycle, author JoAnn Bortles teaches you the airbrush techniques needed to produce head-turning results on your bike.

How To Custom Paint Your Motorcycle covers the latest painting techniques; painting flames, skulls, and murals; candy and pearl paints; and also explains the latest paints and finishes.

Even if you don't paint your own bike, this book will provide the information you need to have a professional painter do exactly what you want. How To Custom Paint Your Motorcycle is the most complete custom painting book available.
