Amazing work! I also love your garage, looks like a very comfortable work environment

Wow, awesome job, how did you work in the SSR3`s on the wheels??

What is that meter you are holding? If its a paint thickness gauge, I`ve never seen one before, that`s why I`m asking.

thanks! It isn`t too bad. It rained all day and polishes don`t like humidity.
