Think this may have been covered before but done a search and zylch.Car only three wks old and the black paint is coming off the front calipers ,It dosen't look good at all.Has anyone else had this problem and will the dealer re-paint them .

Is it peeling off, or is it going a greeny colour ?

Not sure what the dealer will do about that, but loads of people have painted the old shape brakes with hammerite. I'm just about to do the same myself. Didn't even think of going back to the dealers, but guess they'll say "they all do that sir!!"

I think you have the same brakes as mine, which are six months old and green in colour.

Hope this helps mate, Phill C.

Babber, thanx m8 but the black is virtually off and it is bare aluminium .Maybee try dealer first then paint them red.

Chubbs,
My front calipers have done exactly the same, not done anything yet as hope to soon be upgrading brakes. Rear calipers are fine.

If you've used any sort of wheel cleaner, especially an acidic one, then that's possibly the reason

If you haven't, then I'd try the dealer
