Red 'Z'

[drolds1]

A while back I mentioned painting the 'Z' on the trunk red.   IMO, cars with the Driver's Sport Package should come from the factory this way.    Finally got it done.

Nice little touch. I like having the fabled black label Z, but I ended up moving them to the engine cover for better synergy.

 

The red goes good with the taillight.

Thumbs up. It will make people think a little about what is going on when they see it.

It looks really good,makes a statement without being gaudy. Did you take it off and paint it or do it while still on the car ?

Thanks. I wouldn't change the BL color either.

Thanks. Yeah.  That's my objective.

Thanks.  No, I didn't remove it.  I did a lot of intricate masking.  Thankfully, it's all straight lines.  It would be a lot harder if it was an MKC. :giggle:

 

This is the 3rd time I've done this (2010 and 2012 Sports), so I'm getting familiar with it.  BTW, the 'Z' on the 2nd-gen cars is slightly larger than that of the 1st-gen.  How do I know that?  I have a set of letters that my son gave me from when he worked in the dealer's parts dep't.  I was going to use the spare 'Z' to cut the tape for masking but no joy.  You'd never know it unless you did a side-by-side comparison.
