It covers every aspect there is in the world of flamework; from traditional flames,wall-of-flames,realistic and ghost flames.

In a nutshell, if you are considering the thought of customising Mom's shopping wagon, this book is for you!!!
I bought this book for my brother since he paints flames on cars as a hobby. He was THRILLED to receive this book. He said it will really help him fine-tune his skills.
I was not aware that there are so many varity,s of flames and related graphics. This is an excellent book to jump start your efforts. It also includes some great links to the many suppliers and artists that define the world of automotive art.
This is a very nice book. It has great photos and good instructions on 'how to'.I would recommend this book to any one considering a flame job.The only problem would be deciding on which type of flames to paint!
This is a very inspirational book! great tutorials and very nice information about some general fields in custom painting. If you feel you like some flame works, you'll find this book leads you to flame almost anything around you... BEWARE! maybe you never stop!I suggest to read this book together with "How to paint your car" also from Motorbooks, this one first because maybe you'd like to start with some nice graphics before putting yourself on a whole car painting job.
This is an excellent guide to painting flames for someone such as myself knew to airbrushing. I'm not what one would call artistic so the book is great in that it lays the steps out for someone more "left brain" dominant to follow.
