Thumbs down Brembo touch up paint? Dealer oops
Does Mitsu offer brembo touch up paint? The paint is peeling around the bleed nipples, the dealer bleed the system and didnt clean it well after. Now the paint is peeling............

getting the dealer to do something is not as easy as that. Yes I would love for them to fix it but I want other options as well. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself....

If the paint is peeling because of brake work the dealer did they should fix it.

I had the same issue....right behind the top bleed nipple. There was also another chip on the other side....They took pics and then a week later called and said it would be covered. The bill was over 3k to replace them.....I guess the Mits. Rep just said do it and didnt even contest the problem.....

Hope this helps
