Einszett Metallic applied by Porter Cable.

Looks amazing! How long does one of these details take?

 

I think total time was about 3 hours.

 

Amazing work! I really like this new X6!!!

 

3 hours?!!?!? practice makes perfect huh?

looks great. i like how once it gets cold the SV wheels brushes get put away and the big fast power tool brushes come out

 

huh 3 hours pretty fast ... nice work then ...
