Default Brake pedal gone soft...

...yep, it sucks.

Swapped in new rotors and pads yesterday. Painted the calipers last night and today. Took the calipers completely off so I hung the brake lines up so they didn't leak too much. MC never went below half.

I've just bled all 4 corners 3 times now. First was to flush the old fluid out, next to get rid of the air, then this time to fix the pedal. Now I know bleeding isn't the fix for a soft pedal, but my pedal is softer then it was before I swapped the brakes.

Any help? Hopefully somebody is around on a friday night.

Did the "go over 15 mph so it flushes the system" crap, bled again, didn't work. Pedal still soft. I've read everything that comes up in search so I'm pretty lost and pretty tired.
