Alright its been a couple weeks since I've posted any write ups. Here is a 750i black/black.
The customer asked about durability but when he saw that there was less depth and gloss he asked that I top it off with Swissvax Saphir. I guess we will see how long the FMJ and Swissvax combo will hold up in the next month or two...
Time: about 7-8 hours
Take a look:
