V1 Kit calipers already painted?

[comegetjoe]

Are the kit calipers already painted silver? Or will this fade and turn to rust?

They will fade and rust

Did you order the parking brake kit? If so, did you receive all four calipers and rotors?

I’m still waiting on mine and want to know if I need to get to cleaning any of my donor calipers.

I powdercoated the bracket and left the caliper bare. This is its second season on the road and they still look good. I'm fortunate enough to have only been caught in the rain once with the car so that probably helps.

The calipers in my kit are already rusty, but those look like they may be plated? I've had 50/50 luck with aftermarket calipers, but when they rust, boy do they rust. I'd recommend wiping them down with acetone and hitting them with caliper paint, a couple hours and cheap insurance.

The calipers I got in my kit way back when were uncoated remans. I coated them myself to prevent rust.

I believe the bracket is coated and the rear caliper is bare in the picture below. The front calipers appear to be coated through out.
*don't mind my 2nd home, I had a small spider build it for me.
