Gotcha on the red s. I'm assuming that was only for the 2010-2012 models and not available for the 2013+

Welcome EcoAbe!  Love the progression over a short period of time.  All are nice rides!

Of course, I'm partial to the MKS.  Would kill for the painted rockers and fascia.  Mine look OK'ish until it rains and the 303 streaks. :(  No way to color match my car.  Maybe I need to consider painting them gloss black.

Thanks so much. If you're planning to paint gloss black, from how I understand it, the body shop will have to sand prep and prime your rockers and fascias the same way as if they were to spray the vehicle body color. Did that bully you into painting them body color instead of black?? Lol - I am thinking about having mine painted Bronze Fire. We will see what the future holds.

I would paint them body color if they could get a match.  Just really doubtful they could since the car doesn't match from the factory.  My bumpers and plastic trim pieces are already a different color than the metal parts.  Wouldn't want to add a third color to the mix.  LOL

There's another Crystal Champagne Metallic Tri-Coat MKS in my same small town.  Looks just like mine.  Ford/Lincoln should probably stick to more basic or dark colors if they are this bad at paint matching.

Maybe I will just plasti-dip them black.  That's what I did with the center of my trunk lid since it was a horrible mis-match from the factory.

Ah yes the infamous paint mismatching. Both of my bumpers were horribly matched to the metal components of the vehicle. I always wondered why that was... but I saw it on all tri-coat painted MKS

Correct. Limited limited production from 2010-2012. They are unicorns. It is a treat to see one, especially when one of my neighbors has a black 2012 model and I see my old white 2010 driving around the downtown area. Whoever bought it from the dealer is taking really good care of it which I am thankful for.
