Wow... yes... uh... brake fluid tends to kill paint on anything... Did you take it somewhere to get your pads changed? I'd totally make them replace it since they f'cked up.

I did mine a while ago and they're still holding up strong

i brought my car in with peeling brembos and a peeling spoiler

they were hessitant to replace it @ the mitsu dealer

they told me that i probably was SOL however the warranty representive must have been in a good mood that day

he checked out my car and had them order 4 new calipers and a new wing

guess i got lucky, but its worth a shot. go down to a mitsu dealer, and explain to them the situation

"i buy a 30,000$ car, i would expect this to not happen" blah blah

just be legit and they will be too

if they give you a hard time, move to another dealer...

Good luck

Dude go to your dealership. If you're still under warranty they should be covered. My front calipers were replaced and they weren't even that bad.
