textureing tutorials

hello all… second post.

ok im making a car for the wikipedia tutorial. im begining to write it up so that future generations of blenders can follow it.

my problem is that ive finished the model. a few final touches needed. like an exhaust pipe and wing mirrors. but now i need to colour it in.

so far ive found very little on texturising. and obviously i dont want to tell future blenders the wrong stuff. so does anyone know of any good texture and/or material tutorials. any favourites?

thanks for the help all
