Default Painted Brake Calipers

New Audi owner here. I purchased a used 2015 A3 Prestige model. Car had 8,900 miles on it. First thing I decided to do was paint the rusty rotors and calipers. I've done this on my last three cars so it was nothing new. Here's a list of what I used:

G2 Brake Caliper Paint - Red
Rust-Oleum High Heat Enamel Flat Black
Decals from Tower Decals - eBay
Eastwood Fast Etch Metal Prep

I used the Etch Metal Prep to clean and coat the rotors so they won't rust again. It puts a protective coating on the metal. Painted rotors with the High Heat paint. Painted calipers with the G2 paint. Added Audi decals.

Pics before and after:

Not bad! I like that you did the rotor's as well. I have always hated how they get rusty.
