The textured design looks great on the model, but would be near impossible to machine in one piece, a better approach would be to make ZF-2A-O with the "floating Z" and attach a separate piece of CF or knurled aluminum to the back of the emblem. I don't know jack about CF so I most likely would not be able to provide this piece . I think painting/powder coating the emblem two colors (silver & black?) will provide plenty of contrast.

which brings us the the next point in the design. Finish. I would think powder coating would be the best looking and most durable choice, however I do not know if it is possible to powder coat something in two different colors. Any one with experience in this field please offer your advice. Also any powder coaters/painters/platers in the Bay Area looking for some work feel free to quote me a price (2,10,100) and/or post some examples of your work.
