Books to get on Pinstriping
In the past 15 or 20 years I have found many books at auto swap meets, and
used book stores. Some books may be still around if you really look.
With videos and dvd's out now some of these books are outdated. Many of these books don't give alot of hands on, but some of the designs are worth checking out.
Gold Leaf Techniques by Raymond LaBlanc (A must have)
Free hand pinstriping by Dick Bird (One of the few from the 80's)
Free hand lettering by Dick Bird ( same as above not alot of hands on)
Pinstriping and Vehicle Graphics by John Hannukaine (Great Book)
Pinstriping by Tramp Warner ( Many pencil sketches that are very useful)
Auto Body Decoration for the Restorer ( Very old style book with designs back in to Horse and Buggy Days)
Pinstriping by Watson ( hard to get soon)
Roth's 101 pinstriping ideas ( hard to get soon)
Pinstriping by Eddie Paul
As far as other places to get them maybe some of the online stores that deal in used books. Just remember some of these books are more entertaining than real hands on information. But if you really want all information then
all of these are great.
Happy reading,
