 Rod Powell's Flame Painting Techniques July 22, 2006
Mikey (Salinas, CA)
This is the only book you will ever need for custom flame jobs. Rod is, and always will be, the best artist to ever layout & paint traditional style flames. His detailed photos and dialog will help even the most talented artist to become even better.

I have known Rod Powell for over 35 years, and he is one of the best custom painters around. Rod is never afraid to try "New Things", which shows in his excellent flame jobs. I was in the custom paint manufacturing business for many years, and would bring samples of New Products to Rods shop. The book shows the proper techniques in laying out the patterns and masking the design. His use of 1/4" masking tape for the design is the best way to go. I was a custom painter/pinstriper since 1955, and Rod's work has always stood out from the others. He worked a lot with Andy Southard jr, another well known pinstriper from the 1950s. I wish I had saved photos of my work as Rod has done, which shows creditability to his work. You can't miss on this book, even if you use spray cans. The technique is the same.

Excellent book for the beginner or professional custom spray painter. The book is filled with colour photographs of the various flame painting techniques and styles. The book also includes three step by step tutorials, with +/- 20 photos per tutorial on flaming cars and motorcycles. This book is definately good value for money and I'll recommend it any day to any spray painting enthusiast.----- Paint long and prosper.
