I've searched the LexusF and Club Lexus forums and there has been much said on the subject of painted brake calipers, so please forgive me if this is redundant redundant.
I asked a service advisor at my Lexus dealership if they would powder-coat my calipers and his response was they no longer painted the calipers for any car. He said it was expensive and that the paint chips right off.
Can any of you out there confirm this is true? My search of postings on the subject seemed to conclude that spray paint was easily chipped off but I am wondering about the durability of powder-coating.
