It had some deep scracthes and door dings and the paintwork felt like 360 grit sandpaper!

Here are the worst of the scratches and dings... every panel had something!

Nice job on the Black. Nine hours for a beast....hmmm? How did you get it done in that time frame? J/K Put a tonneau cover on it and it will take two hours more...LOL!
