Great vid speeeed painting lol.

Done exactly the same on the wife's scirocco but in black I used E-tech high temperature calliper paint stood up well so far over a year and no signs of rust.
Il be doing the same on my Gti when the weather picks up my opinion only but I think the black will suit the santis better than silver :whistle:

On the GTI-pp and R it starts happening within a matter of weeks! GTD and regular GTI not as bad due to the rear discs being smaller / non ventilated. The fronts don't suffer from it (much) at all.

In that case I should see out the GTD ownership before I order at the end of the year.

I just wish they could offer more colour options over here in the UK.
