They all do it..you can remove, rough, and paint with high temp, or powdercoat.

Default Here As Well

Hadn't bothered me, but have been noticing the peeling paint for a few months. Per Bruce M's instructions, it may be time for matching green calipers.

Default naaaaaa, goin about it all wrong. Bask in their brakedustencrusted beauty, like my flakey units...

...it's sorta disturbingly gratifying I find, and, bonus, requires less maintenance / concern.

Win win.

Like Bruce said they all seem to do it eventually (way more than not), which leads me to if you ya can't beat 'em join 'em - carbon grey is good IMO.

That's gonna be my next car's paintjob I say - "BrakeDustBlack" (PK tm pending)...
