Exclamation Painting Calipers voids warranty?

Hey guys, I want to paint my calipers but before I do so, I wanted to know if anyone knows if it will void any warranty ? If it does, then I won't even bother trying to paint them.

You need to check with your dealership. However, you could always try different dealership. I do not see any reason that will void the warranty.

Paint shouldn't void any warranties and if your breaks fail you won't be worried about paint lol

Mods only void a warranty if they cause or contribute to a problem. If your calipers rusted because of the paint then failed, not a likely situation, then it would be void. If you turbo your car and a piston gets holed, your fault. If you turbo and the trunk latch fails, warranty is good.
