Default Caliper Discouloration

WRX with only 1200 miles on it. My front calipers seem to have turned yellow. Both calipers now have a yellow coating on them. Does anyone know why this may be happening. The rears are normal just the fronts. It looks horrible ???

Do they look a bit like black stone washed jeans ? Mine the same and only 2500 miles on it but mine was caused by wonder wheels, Sprayed the wheels and saw the stuff eating into the coating on the caliper !

Unfortunately, they all do that, some dealers have been known to repaint them, but I would expect every dealer to be willing, ask!
