The X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition's quality shine is achieved through six advanced stages:
First comes the milled magnesium top cover from the mold
A chemical conversion coating is applied to prevent oxidation via contact with air
Using a black base coat (primer), the shadow areas are darkened, allowing the highlights to stand out
Using multiple thin-layer technology, the graph ite silver texture is added. Tiny amounts of graphite are applied via computer control while rotating the body at high speeds
A minor amount of black is added to the clear finish coating material, creating the unique glossy feel
Areas such as the logo are colored by hand
