Why did you have the warning? Was it low on fluid?

Not low at all. Maybe it's just sensitive to fluid viscosity ....who knows.
One guy used Ravenol and got the warning from it....switched to Castrol and now fine

Interesting... I have never seen that warning. I use Amsoil.

I could mess around putting it in mountain lock mode and then take it out and it'd be fine for awhile. Kinda figured it was the diff lock motor but decided to just change the fluid first for a hopefully easy fix...and it worked!!

That's all that matters.

Great info thanks. Which brush do you recommend? Kit brush looks dinky

I could tell the paint was starting to set up as I was finishing the last caliper, but it still went on smooth and it looks just as good as the other 3. I started with a very light coat which didn't do much for color, but it provided a base for the other coats. The 2nd coat made it look mostly uniform in color, and the 3rd coat really made the difference.

I didn't tape anyting off beforehand and I found it to be easy to work with (especially with the better brush), but it should be noted that I have experience painting model cars and planes, so your experience may vary.

I don't know which brush it was exactly, but it came out of a variety pack I bought at the store. It had a flat tip about 3/8" wide, similar to the biggest one in this kit:

I cheated on my Cayenne today and picked up an Etron Chronos Pack in Chronos Gray. Whoo Hoo, it's nowhere near as fast as our Cayenne turbos but it's a pretty cool vehicle with some street presence.

Went to the beach and noticed my Cayenne Diesel had reached this milestone.
