The Art of Custom Painting " by Carl Caiti, published by Metalflake Inc, Haverhill, Mass., most likely in the early 70s, as submitted by Ogri! Check out that wild dished Ron Finch peanut tank!
I lived across the street from a retired flattrack racer as a kid. His old race bike had nearly every technique presented in this post on it's tank. He always said the guy that painted it was a little loopy because he never wore a respirator.
I learned a lot of cool stuff from guy. I wish I still knew how to find him so I could thank him.
there's also another book with different pics in it, it was distributed by the "badger" airbrush firm. and even an "art of custom painting 2" if i'm not mistaken... very informative reading!!!
