I had a go at one of mine with a brush the other day and a loaf of paint surface just fell right off. Really gutted.

have them powder coated if you can do without your car on the road for a day or 2

my 165 is 2 years old now and last serviced i mentioned to dealers that paint was flaking on all 4 calipers,but was told its not covered by warranty ?
so i guess its like the others said do it yourself !!
