He has been featured in many publications, including writing his own book, “Guide To Pinstriping”.

He has trained well over 300 students in the art of pinstriping in 6 different countries. The attendees of his workshops are living proof of his teaching ability, and gain a good start into mastering the basics of pinstriping, as well as learning the history of some of the greatest craftsmen the trade has ever seen, including Tommy “The Greek” Hrones.

Herb Martinez is also been inducted into the National Rod & Custom Hall of Fame , Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame, Mack Brush Hall of Fame, San Francisco Rod & Custom Show Hall of Fame and the Von Hot Rod Pinstripers Hall of Fame.
