“In reality, of course, it takes a lot more than a how-to book to become a custom painter of practically anything, let alone motorcycles. That said, Bortles’ 158- page paperback handles its innately difficult topic with great aplomb. The master behind Crazy Horse Painting, Bortles has been at it a long time, really knows her game, and confidently delivers her tips and tricks of the trade with remarkable clarity … All things considered, Custom Paint is consistently thorough and intense, yet still an enjoyable read due to the breezy nature of Bortles’ prose, and her reliance on personal testimonies that often come across as lively stories unto themselves.” American Iron, June 2005
