Super job on the detail work. I wish I had access to someone as good. Alas, I quit taking it in as the quality of the detail work i was receiving was very disappointing. Working black paint is an art.
I have been teaching myself to do it right. I'm getting better but it still takes me two days to produce an "average" result. It is very hard work and i really appreciate the guys that do it right.
