Take it from a fellow Long Islander, get a used rupes. It`s a far better bang for the buck!

Btw, GREAT JOB!

gotta be careful with the kias, some have some seriously thin paint.

Been looking hard at either the Griots G21 or the Rupes. Griots seems to be the winner in my head right now, but honestly both are amazing machines.

If you ever want to try them out I have both, just shoot me a pm. I have to say the G21 is definitely better then the Rupes mk1 both in ergonomics and power. Smoothness still goes to the Rupes though.

I have seen some with primer visible on the fenders right from the factory.
