Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton is making Sports Illustrated history.

It took almost 14 hours to cover Stanton's buff physique in body paint for the March 2 issue's cover shoot.

Stanton, who also took part in ESPN The Magazine's Body Issue photo shoot in 2013, inked a record-breaking 13-year, $325-million contract extension with the Marlins in November.
