Default What the hell? I get my car back, and my calipers are BLACK instead of Silver..

I got my car back from the 10K service, and just now noticed my front calipers are black with rust on them, but the rear calipers are the original silver color, what did they do? They are closed right now, but could they have replaced my calipers for some reason without telling me? Nothing is stated on my service sheet regarding brake calipers, this is weird. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks

Default Calipers can rust very fast; but, it's usually a brown or dark brown. Replacing them without

telling you is a NO NO! Before you get too hot, ask them. If they're decent people they'll let you know or explain what's going on.

Default Yeah, they usually rust brown but not black. I painted mine black though.
