Brembos Paint Peeling (Mega Merge)
Does anyone have a problem where the clear coat on the stock Brembo calipers peeling? I just noticed it today, that almost half the clear coat on my caliper is gone! It is just pale red! At first I thought there was something wrong with my eyes but upon closer inspection, it was peeling. This is also only happening on the passanger side. What can one do? Will the dealer cover it under warrenty? Seems like a defect. I dont track the car either, which is where I hear people expericing change caliper colors. Do I have to repaint them? The car only has 10k miles.
Thanks again.

normal
This is a normal event with brembo's. Only way to truely get it back is to strip(sand blast) the caliper and reseal it again.

Braf: I would but I didnt feel it was right for a caliper to peel like that especially them being so new. I will have to see what the dealer says. Thanks again.

Yo, if I were you, I wouldn't be complaining of your caliper clear coat peeling. You should be happy that your clutch and TC are holding up. Damn, I can't wait to here what you say when that S..T starts to go.... Say your prayers, and count your blessings!!!!!

MY clear coat and pait are completely missing around the bleed nipple. It's even began to rust a little. Probably where a little brake fluid was left there after all the time I've bleed the system. But whatever, I don't care.
