What did you do with your Z today

Painted my emblems & door handles. Actually, I did this on Monday, but I had no time to upload photos.

Curious to see how the handles hold up. I saw a 350 with painted handles and the paint was scratched away quite a bit.

Yeah, I'm not too sure how long the paint will hold up either, I just really like how it looks. My girlfriend has long nails & probably will be the reason they're gonna get scratched up. I'm just glad it's reversible.

Looks good! You did the actual paint very well though.

although, in that 3rd pic of your front bumper, do you have scratches in your front bumper, towards bottom?

No scratches at all. What you see is a reflection of some light colored objects in front of the car. I'd hate myself if my car was all scratched up
