I sometimes wish I could get the black (ebony) woodgrain like in the 6 series... that would be sweet!

, only add primer first, patience and lots of time to this equation.....
I am in the process of painting a few pieces in my X, so I guess according to Martin I have that lowrider mentality..... Ooh well, as they say to each thier own.... But time is really needed in this process because you need to allow time to dry, sand and re-paint. Thin layers. I have been working on my pieces for about a week now, but I did run into a big problem because I was almost about to start on my clear coating and set the pieces on a piece of wood and chair so they could dry out in the sun and the wind blew the wood off the chair scrathing all the pieces so I had to pretty much start over.
