Description
Alex says:

Paint It Black has 11 pieces - all pentahexes without mirror symmetry. I started with all pieces having two different colors on each side (one fo them is black of course). The challenge is to create a black 3x5 rhomboid. When finished, keep three pieces, add one more from the rest and create a bigger 4x5 rhomboid, again completely black. Repeat the process up to 11x5 black rhomboid. There is only one way to do so with a unique solution for every rhomboid. Two of the pieces are black on both sides to make it work. You can use the red barrier with black arrows to mark the field you are going to solve.

There are two paths you can follow with 6 pieces, one of them ends in 3 more steps. Be careful!

A little tribute to another rock legend, The Rolling Stones. Thank you, James Kerley, for another great challenge you posted.
