So my car has been on jack stands since November. I disconnected all the brakes (calipers, rotors) and had them powdercoated. I put everything back on and bled the brakes. Only problem is I have no pressure. I'm thinking maybe the powdercoating needs to wear off where the pads touch. So I go around the block doing about 10, push in the pedal and nothing, nothing, bam they lock up when my foot hits the floor. It took about 20 feet plus(just a guess not sure of the actual distance, but a lot longer than it should be) to stop from 10 mph. Before I put it away I would have stopped immediatley at 10 mph. I do this a couple more times until the rotor is bare where the pads touch. So I bled the brakes again, checked all the fuses, no idiot lights lit up on the dash and still the same problem. I also checked for leaks and there's nothing. I am completely stumped. The brakes will catch but not until my foot hits the floor.
