These are the two that I used:

"Paint and Body Handbook" by Don Taylor and Larry Hofer; Hp Books, 1984

"How to Custom Paint" by David H. Jacobs; Motorbooks International, 1990

The first one is the better of the two, I used the second one for when I put the stripes on my car. BTW, I had the help of someone with lots of experience when I painted my car. That helped a lot.
