Doesn't have as big or as many metallic chips in the paint but the paint is much harder.

Sometimes the weather is frustrating but that is what the Tiguan is for.

I feel for you. I grew up in Norther Illinois and spent a lot of time in Wisconsin.
The winters are tough but what a beautiful place.

Gene, did you remove your rotors to paint the hubs or did you paint them on the car?

I painted them on the car using a foam brush and high temperature silver paint.

Did you use spray paint and brush it on or did you have the paint in a can?

I used silver high temp spray paint. I sprayed it into a small plastic tray and then used a disposable foam brush from Ace hardware.

What did you use for a clear coat on top of the paint?????? Did the foam stick leave any telltale lines or strokes?

Anywhere near Tampa????

I used nothing on top of the high temp paint. The foam brush didn't leave any marks. That is why I used a foam brush instead of a normal paint brush.

Gene, do you happen to have any pictures of how the rotors turned out?

I'm interested on how the rotors turned out as well. Mine look bad and trying to figure out how to make them look good again.
