How To Pinstripe (Motorbooks Workshop)

Learn from the best with this book

Rather good book when it comes to method and where to start but I found the Ed Roth booklets to be a lot more helpful on the basis of Ed made you feel like he was your buddy ACTUALLY giving you useful information (the one thing this book lacked in comparison to Ed's is this says nothing about how long it takes for a brush to break in and make precise lines.) Overall a good book for getting started, but once you finish this one buy "101 Pinstriping Tips" and "Pinstriping" by Ed Roth.

There are a bunch of books out there and most of them call out your lack of ability and talent. Alan says getcha a gallon of paint, a brush and when the gallons is gone you're a striper. But there's a lot of stuff between the top and bottom of the gallon... This has helped tremendously. Color theory, and encouragement throughout. You'll like this one. And it will help you become a better striper.

I am just getting started and thought that this "highly reviewed" book would be a nice help. Now I know more about the "why" than the "how". Want technique? Ditch this book and watch videos!

Bought as a gift for my friend whose into this, hopefully he will use it.

This book is definitely what I was looking for to get started. I've bought the gallon of white and now I'm practicing.

This is a great book for getting a well rounded knowledge of pinstriping. Great for beginners like me. The book answered all my questions and more. The author has been in the industry for over 30 years and knows all the tips and tricks. Also well organized. Covers equipment(brushes/paint), how to handle the brush, practice exercises, mixing the paint, building designs, and plenty of examples. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in learning pinstriping.

In this book, Alan Johnson goes from start to finish of the world of pinstriping. He discusses paint choice, brush choice, proper bruch care, handling techniques and tutorials. All of this comes with great photographs and proper narration to help understand what is going on. If you are looking to learn how to pinstripe, pick this book up and go from there.

Really good book, full of great photos. All you need to know.Recommend.
