Synopsis
Jon Kosmoski - the King of Kustom Painters - puts over four decades of experience into Kosmoski's New Kustom Painting Secrets. This new book starts with the basics: how to set up a shop, pick a compressor, and prepare the metal. The metal prep discussion includes the use of two-part fillers and how to get the panels really flat. The next section of Jon's book covers modern paint. What it is, how it's made and which type is best suited to custom paintwork. Jon explains the advantages and disadvantages of single and two-stage paints, and which is the best choice for a person working at home or in a small shop. The paint discussion moves on to cover candy and pearl paints, how best to utilize and spray these custom coatings, and how to mix up your own unique color. How to pick, adjust and use spray guns makes up the next chapter in Jon's new book. As Jon explains, "you need to have the gun adjusted properly, and the way to do that is with test panels done before you start the paint job." The test panels included in the book show a good and bad pattern, and how to adjust a gun that's putting out a flawed pattern. No how-to-paint would be complete without at least two, start-to-finish paint jobs. Kosmoski's New Kustom Painting Secrets contains both a hot rod and a motorcycle paint job. The sequences start at the very beginning with the metal preparation, and moves through all the primer and filler stages necessary to make the panels perfect, before any topcoat can be applied. The paint jobs include artwork and flames, application of the candy paint, and the final clearcoats. Kosmoski's New Kustom Painting Secrets uses over 400 color images and 144 pages to explain a lifetime's worth of custom painting experience., Jon Kosmoski - King of Kustom Painters and founder of House of Kolor paint - puts over four decades of experience into the new Kustom Painting Secrets. Jon starts with the basics: how to set up a shop, pick a compressor, and route the airlines. Next, he covers modern paint and the new Shimrin2 system in particular. Jon explains what it is, and how the various Karrier Basecoats and Effects can be mixed to create literally any color in the rainbow. Spray guns, how to choose, use and adjust them, takes up one full chapter. A chapter assembled with help from SATA, the brand known for no-compromise quality and great atomization. No Kustom Painting Secrets book would be complete without at least two, start-to-finish, paint jobs by Jon Kosmoski. The new book contains both a hot rod and a motorcycle paint job. The sequences begin at the very start with the metal preparation, and moves through all the primer and filler stages necessary to make the panels perfectly flat - before the kustom-mix Shimrin2 paint is applied. Two additional start-to-finish sequences include a complete motorcycle paint job, and the application of an extensive graphics package on a brand new Ford Pickup., The King of Kustom Painters puts over four decades of experience into Kosmoski's New Kustom Painting Secrets, taking you from the basics through two complete start-to-finish paint jobs., Jon Kosmoski - the King of Kustom Painters - puts over four decades of experience into Kosmoski's New Kustom Painting Secrets. Kosmoski's New Kustom Painting Secrets contains both a hot rod and motorcycle projects.

    "Great Service from the Seller – Highly Recommended!" As a customer from China, I haven’t received the book yet, but I’m already very impressed with the seller’s excellent service! Their communication was prompt and friendly, and they provided clear updates about my order. Even though international shipping takes time, their professionalism and care have made this a pleasant shopping experience. I truly appreciate their efforts and can’t wait to read the book when it arrives. Thank you!
