Has any else had this happen? I want to fix it but Im not really wanting to have to rebuilt all the calipers to powdercoat them. I was thinking I could sandblast them and then spray them with a heat resistant enamel. I like the blue and want to keep it. The backs are fine but the fronts are bad.. the driverside is much worse.

 

Those were painted blue from factory? I thought they only came in black.

I just painted mine this past week, orange, very easy to do, done in a few hours and looks awesome, i'd recommed you just get them redone in that same blue if you like that color.

 

Mine looks like the clear coat is peeling on the two fronts. You have to sand it down and repaint, its pretty simple and I just seen a thread where the owner painted his orange and it looked extremely nice. I think it was something like "Something to do on a Saturday evening."

 

Funny you mention that lol, i was the one that did them orange and started that thread, but yea very simple process, just be patient and make sure to tape off all the areas you dont want to paint. And make sure to apply enough clear coat also to make them last longer.

 

The calipers are black from factory. That looks like aftermarket paint is chipping off.

 

You're' right, it looks aftermarket. I have a few chips from sloppy wheel handling, that's about it.

 

Really? its not OEM? man who ever did them originally did an amazing job. They match the blue F trim perfectly.

I think what Im going to do is remove them and sand blast them then spray them with a single stage epoxy.

 

An amazing job would not have peeled off like that.

You should research how to do this so it lasts before jumping into it.

My .002 cents.

 

It got painted in 09. Only 1 is damaged which is probably from a pressure washer/ intense heats and brake fluid getting spilt on it when the lines were changed.

I did research it. My neighbor is an automotive painter and i consulted with him prior to coming up with the conclusion.

 

My brake calipers are oem black color and are starting to peel. Looks like Lexus and/or Brembo did a bad job also?

 

Me too, will probably only repaint prior to selling, whenever that is.

I have a gun metal grey, and I think the yellow callipers would look mean..
