go to the dealer and buy the touch up paints for the rally red evo. The rally red touch up paint comes pretty close to the stock brembo color. I did mine, and it made a world of difference.

Yeah, remove them completely and have them painted the color of your choice with a high temp paint

all i did was take the wheels off and put some new paper over the rotors so that only the breaks were exposed and got some high heat paint schucks, and sanded the red off(only because i was using a lighter color) and sprayed about 3 coats of yellow, then I put the wheel back on, later I'm getting a brembo stinscil and putting BREMBO back on in black paint, heres some pics of it now http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2066068/5

im pretty sure the dealer will repaint them if they are pealing. maybe you can get them to paint the black for you instead. that way its done by pros and its free?

Mine are peeling pretty bad but my dealer said they're not covered under warrenty so they won't replaced them. I'm going to talk to the local Mitsu rep next week and raise some hell. I figure I'll have to repaint them myself

We have a body shop here that would paint our Porsche brembos, any color you want and put the porsche logo back on and clearcoated to boot. so check some paint/body places that will do it.
