Thanks! They feel pretty good. I only have a few hundred miles so I still have to do the seat procedure but we have had rain since Sunday.

Callipers & discs look great, I am a redstuff fan as well. Not a fan of the wheels colour though.

These are the original calipers. Just wanted to freshen them up. I own a shop and we do the coating in house. The calipers were disassembled, sand blasted and sprayed then installed new seals and dust boots. Wheels were sand blasted and powder coated. I don't like black wheels. Everybody else does that. I had this in stock and like it. Its a little darker than factory audi gun metal. Best thing is no brake dust sticks to calipers now and wheels always look clean.

@ crjoyal
Awesome. Super nice. You chose a great project for our cars. That is one of the weak areas that gets more n more annoying w age n dust.
Can u elaborate? What do u feel is contributing to them staying cleaner?
Also what state r u located?

Thanks! It started with just replacing the pads and rotors. Ended up doing calipers, wheels and new tires. The ceramic paint I used is for firearms and doesn't build up dust or powder and can withstand high heat. My shop is in Concord, NC.
