Wow, didn't expect that it'd look like that in the dark, really nice. Thanks for the tip to whitegauges. Ralph

High humidity also hinders the process.

FYI that whitegauges are generally nice but can obscure the turn signals at night. Minor annoyance so mine are staying for now, but just a heads up.

Well good and bad news. The touch up on the spots turned out well. The bad part is I started to reassemble the caliper only to figure out Centric packed one 28mm and three 30 mm dust boots (supposed to be two each) in the kit. Trying to resolve with partsgeek but it another delay and the car stays on jack stands for now. At least I can work on my stereo install.

Since you had it all apart, you should've done suspension too!
