How well will the powdercoating hold up to brake dust, wheel cleaning chemicals..etc...?

Welp...I got them all on! They pretty much match my paint! Also, I replaced all the stock rubber brake lines with stainless steel ones. I had gotten the 6 brake line kit.

So I took some pics. If you haven't already looked at my link in the sig or known...my car hasn't been drivable for the past year. I'm getting closer. My motor should be here in about 2 weeks!

Yea...I did the inside of the wheel wells and and any of the metallic black parts you see in the engine bay pics. I do all of my own prep/primer too. All professional stuff....no rattle cans here.

Looks awesome!! I always wanted to do mine but never got around to it... did you have to disassemble the calipers to have them coated?
