Brembo peeling off
 
It seems that transparent paint is peeling off my Brembo.
Replacement under warranty has been refused.
Anyone with this issue? Do you have some tips to fix it?

This is extremely common. Repaint them, but be extremely careful.

Two piece calipers should never be taken apart.
Reminds me of the time we had a Jaguar with 4 pot brembos in the shop and the idiot doing the brakes didn't know the pads just came out the back after taking the pins out and didn't think to ask, he just saw the 4 huge bolts and split the calipers.

What a spectacle that was :lol:

I'm italian, and I'm sad that Brembo was an excellence industry, before delocalizing production in China...

I 100% can feel you in many cases there :( I'm not Italian, but it's sad to see so many quality companies outsourcing because they don't think the quality is value added (and it's not, it's lost on many people unfortunately).

I have this happening on mine too. The passenger side had a chip which caused peeling. And the other almost looks like some brake fluid leaked and corroded away the clear coat. I'll get them repainted at some point. Possibly yellow!
