Do any of you find that the stock black paint on the calipers is not very durable? My car only has about 27K kms and the black paint is chipping off in places. I'm just going to use some black paint for touch up instead of repainting. I like the stealth look.

I gather the blue calipers are for an USB ISF.

Yep, noticed the same thing. My rears are chipping off and when I complained to the dealership they said they can't do anything because it's wear and tear.......

I honestly think this should be covered, it's a defect in the paint used.....and paint shouldn't be chipping off after 20k miles.....that is a defect, not wear and tear.

Looks great. This is on my to do list also. Did you get them painted or powder coated?
