Powder Coated my rear break calipers

I had a macanic replace my breaks all the way around, but when he got done they didnt feel right and i thought it was just the new stainless lines but when i went to pull the e break it didnt hold much, just one break. Oh Autozone i love you when you sell me junk that dosnt work! my buddy has the machine so we took the other break off cleaned it up and coated them up and then baked the **** outta em, now they are gloss white. had a tough time gettin air out of the lines until we went and borrowed a bleed kit, worked like a charm. im not sure how long it took because i ran over my watch in the process. lol ill post pics later today sometime.

I would think that white calipers would show dirt and brake dust very easily. Let's see some pics!

The white everything is a little tacky. Just a little.

I think he's referring to that e-brake cable that goes on the caliper...

I don't know what your E-Brake and stainless steel brake lines had to do with your powder coating of the calipers... but, Yes! let's see those pictures! Hopefully, the powder coating is not the reason your brakes are acting up.
